body_add_docx: Add an external docx in a 'Word' document

In officer: Manipulation of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint Documents

Add an external docx in a 'Word' document

Description

Add content of a docx into an rdocx object.

Usage

body_add_docx(x, src, pos = "after")

Arguments

x	an rdocx object
src	docx filename
pos	where to add the new element relative to the cursor, one of "after", "before", "on".

Note

The function is using a 'Microsoft Word' feature: when the document will be edited, the content of the file will be inserted in the main document.

This feature is unlikely to work as expected if the resulting document is edited by another software.

file1 <- tempfile(fileext = ".docx")
