R create .docx file ?
The OP clearly hasn't followed the excellent documentation... this is not a maintainer problem. It is the act of printing the completed object that puts a file on disk. However, the package author recommends in the README that help be requested from stackoverflow, as the mailing list Posting Guidelines do warn that contributed packages are not technically on topic in R-help. (Simply from a practicality standpoint... there are thousands of them, each with potentially voluminous details to distract from the R language itself.)

But the OP explicitly notes that the read_docx package does *not* write files and asks whether there are *other* packages or functions that provide that functionality. It still seems to me that the ReporteR maintainer might be the best place to go for that info, although there is certainly no assurance that he can provide it.

But before hassling the maintainer the OP should read the package vignettes and run some examples... read_docx does not write to any
files,
so complaining that it doesn't will be fruitless. On April 8, 2020 9:31:41 AM PDT, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote:
This sounds like the sort of specialized question that should be directed to the maintainer (?maintainer) rather than to a general Help list

Dear All, Mac Catalina - R 3.6.3 - all up-to-date packages. I would like to re-create the functionality which was found in the
package
{ReporteRs} by creating a .docx file in a folder on my computer
from
within
R - which can subsequently be used by the {officer} function
read_docx.
The function read_docx on my system does NOT create a new
document,
and
neither does the following code:
new.word.doc=function(){ report = read_docx(path ..name..
".docx"))
return(report) }
doc=new.word.doc()
I can use {base} file.create to create a file with an extension
.docx
- but
apparently this is not a .docx file - and read_docx can't read it. Is there another R package or function which I can use in order to
create
(and then close the link to R so that it can be used by another
package) a
.docx file ?
Many thanks in advance.
