I am trying to make a word document from R. I use the officer package.



doc = docx(title = 'test')


When I do this, the standard template is used. Is there a way to change the template inside R? Or do i need to make a template outside R (in word) and then use that?



For example; How do i set the font in the document to calibri, size=10 ?

  • This will not run as the function does not exist. You can read the documentation here: davidgohel.github.io/officer/articles/word.html#quick-start

    @DavidGohel Sure, docx() doesn't exist, and you use read_docx() to start a document from the standard template, but that typo doesn't have much to do with his question. I have to say it took me some time to figure out this functionality in your package as well; although the fp_text() function is described in your documentation, you have to scroll through many function names, potentially reading a lot of things you don't need to in order to find it. Overall, your package and its documentation are really great, but it would be nice to also see some discussion of this type of formatting 1/2

    @duckmayr you are probably right, would you be ok to write what you think should be written? I would be happy to integrate it!

    @duckmayr no worry about time, your contribution would be welcome even if in one year! I am also very busy and officer work only happens after "work that pay salary" and family ;)
