Error in length.pptx(obj) : attempt to apply non-function

[juliezhu324]

Hi Team,

I'm getting Error in length.pptx(obj) : attempt to apply non-function whenever I simply run doc = pptx( title = "title" ).

I recently updated to R3.3.2 and this never occurred with R3.2.2.

Thanks for the amazingly powerful package!

Hi,

Thanks,

I can see officer is loaded. There is a conflict between length.pptx located in ReporteRs and in officer. If you detach officer, the error should not occur anymore.

Awesome! Thanks David!

I have just submitted a new officer version on cran. From now, you can have both packages loaded in your R session.
