Error opening Word doc

[mpainter99]

When I create a new docx using the Quick Start example Word throws an error.

my_doc <- read_docx() 

src <- tempfile(fileext = ".png")
png(filename = src, width = 5, height = 6, units = 'in', res = 300)
barplot(1:10, col = 1:10)
dev.off()

my_doc <- my_doc %>% 
  body_add_img(src = src, width = 5, height = 6, style = "centered") %>% 
  body_add_par("Hello world!", style = "Normal") %>% 
  body_add_par("", style = "Normal") %>% # blank paragraph
  body_add_table(iris, style = "table_template")

print(my_doc, target = "first_example.docx")

Results in the following when I try and open the file.

Selecting OK results in the following message:

Hi

This happened because of an update of r-libs/zip. The github version of officer already contain a fix - I am planning to submit a new release on cran soon, probably this week.

My package augmentedRCBD with officer as a dependency was showing the following warning in R CMD check due to the same reason.

prepare_Rd: replacing previous import ‘zip::unzip’ by ‘utils::unzip’ when loading ‘officer’ 

It disappeared with the updated version of officer from github.

(thanks @aravind-j for the feedback)

The new release has just been accepted on CRAN. The binaries should appear in the following days.

@davidgohel I'm getting the same problem using the github and CRAN version except I only get the prompt from the second image.
