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.

This sounds like the sort of specialized question that should be directed to the maintainer (?maintainer) rather than to a general Help list such as this.

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.
