Can R read Word fonts and comments?

Yes, I have done some search (e.g., tm, markdown, etc), but I can't find
this function.
If you know any package that works for this purpose, that would be quite
helpful.
Thanks,

John

Did you try searching before posting here? -- e.g. a web search or on
rseek.org ?

Cheers,

Hi,

   From time to time I highlight the word documents with red/blue color
or
italic/bold fonts, and I also add comments to a file. Is there a
package/function to let R extract the italic/bold blue/red words and
comments from a docx/doc file?

   I am aware that there are a few packages reading Word, but don't know
which one is able to do it.

   Thanks,

John

It?s my understanding that docx and xlsx files are zipped containers that have their data in XML files. You should try unzipping one and examining it with a viewer. You may then be able to use pkg:XML.

I just added `docx_extract_all_cmnts()` (and a cpl other
comments-related things) to the dev version of `docxtractr`
(https://github.com/hrbrmstr/docxtractr). You can use
`devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/docxtractr")` to install it.
There's an example in the help for that function.

Give it a go and file detailed issues for other functionality you need.

Thank you, David and Bert, for the info.
Thank you, Bob, for this excellent function. Allow me to request a feature:
You highlighted the following text, and comment "This is the first comment".

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, cu sit modus voluptua accommodare, meis
disputando voluptatibus eu nec, qui te modo solum delicata. Eam scripta
maluisset urbanitas et, numquam disputationi in pri, vis tibique deserunt
accusamus ut. Vis movet admodum probatus cu, ex pri ludus possit. Molestiae
efficiendi at vix, eu labore elaboraret deterruisset mei, et eos persius
nominati."

Could you let the function output the above text (with the comments, of
course), which you highlighted for comment?

Thanks,

John

enhanced feature requests :-)
