Sorry to insist :) the question has been tagged as invalid because there were no sessionInfo() nor reproducible example. If you want help, provide these TWO elements.

[jurbanhost]

Uh, sorry for me, example:

library(ReporteRs)

doc <- docx(title = "test", template = "c:/app/test1.docx")

test1.docx

test1.docx created from LibreOffice 5.4.3.2 and saved in Open Office XML (.docx) format

Thanks, I can see the issue now.

I think LO is generating an invalid document. Saving it from Word make the error disappearing. LO is always causing issues:

• https://github.com/davidgohel/ReporteRs/issues/77
• https://github.com/davidgohel/ReporteRs/issues/45

Will try to solve that later this month or next month.

@davidgohel
