Using "officer" I'm trying to edit the values of a Word table. Pretty straight forward to find the "paragraph" containing it
library(officer)
doc = read_docx('template.docx')
doc = cursor_begin(doc)
doc = cursor_reach(doc,"Some text")
print(doc)
and I get a document that looks like:
* Content at cursor location:
row_id is_header cell_id text col_span row_span
1.1 1 FALSE 1 D 1 1
1.5 2 FALSE 1 1 1
1.9 3 FALSE 1 Some text 1 1
1.13 4 FALSE 1 1 1
2.2 1 FALSE 2 More text 1 1
But, then what? There doesn't seem to be any way of directly altering the content of this table...
You can use body_replace_all_text for that task.
library(officer)
doc <- read_docx()
doc <- body_add_table(doc, iris, style = "table_template")
doc = cursor_reach(doc, "setosa")
doc <- body_replace_all_text(doc, old_value = "setosa",
new_value = "coco", only_at_cursor = TRUE)
print(doc, target = "test.docx")
