keep_with_next: Set Word 'Keep with next' instructions

In flextable: Functions for Tabular Reporting

Set Word 'Keep with next' instructions

Description

The 'Keep with next' functionality in 'Word', applied to the rows of a table, ensures that the rows with that attribute stays together and does not break across multiple pages.

This function allows much better control of breaks between pages than the global keep_with_next parameter.

Usage

keep_with_next(x, i = NULL, value = TRUE, part = "body")

Arguments

x	a flextable object
i	rows selection
value	TRUE or FALSE. When applied to a group, all rows except the last one should be flagged with attribute 'Keep with next'.
part	partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header', 'footer')

Other sugar functions for table style: align(), bg(), bold(), color(), empty_blanks(), font(), fontsize(), highlight(), italic(), line_spacing(), padding(), rotate(), tab_settings(), valign()

Examples

library(flextable)
dat <- iris[c(1:25, 51:75, 101:125), ]
ft <- qflextable(dat)
ft <- keep_with_next(
  x = ft,
  i = c(1:24, 26:49, 51:74),
  value = TRUE
)

save_as_docx(ft, path = tempfile(fileext = ".docx"))
