flextable output knitting to Word - unused arguments error

[astraetech]

Hi David,

I used to be able to knit flextable to Word without a problem back in Spring but now knitting to Word throws an error. HTML works fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled flextable but still having the same error. Here is my reprex:

---
title: "Untitled"
output: word_document
date: "2022-11-11"
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(modelsummary)
library(tidyverse)
library(flextable)

R Markdown

flextable(mtcars)

Here is the error: 

Quitting from lines 20-26 (testing_flextable.Rmd) Error in prop_table(style = NULL, layout = table_layout(type = "fixed"), : unused arguments (word_title = x$properties$word_title, word_description = x$properties$word_description) Calls: ... knit_print.flextable -> flextable_to_rmd -> knit_to_wml -> gen_raw_wml Execution halted

Thank you very much!

I am sorry I can't find the line 20 to 26 and this example that goes until line 19 works fine. (This is the script that generated the error, we shoud have max 19 lines and the error says there are more)

[astraetech]

Hi, sorry, the rmarkdown code got reformatted when i pasted it. I took a screenshot and pasted it here. It's the same code as above but with the line numbers.

The code that causes problems is flextable(mtcars) when knitting to word.

Update package officer with cran version

[astraetech]

This worked, thank you! I updated flextable but didn't update the officer package.
