Unclear if possible to add a bullet list on a doc

[stefanoborini]

It is unclear, and it seems that it's not possible at the moment, to add a bullet list to a doc file. If it's possible, the documentation does not report how. A google search came up inconclusive.

Is the feature supported? If not, this issue acts as a feature request.

This can be done by adding paragraphs with a style that has bullets.

template.docx

library(magrittr)

doc <- read_docx(path = "template.docx") %>%
  body_add_par("item 1", style = "bullet") %>%
  body_add_par("item 2", style = "bullet") %>%
  body_add_par("item 3", style = "bullet")

print(doc, target = "test.docx" )

Uhh, thanks! But I recommend to add it more explicitly to the documentation, as I could not find it.

[davidgohel]

thanks for the recommandation

[stefanoborini]

For the record, this is apparently not working in 0.3.2

Warning: Error in : could not match any style named 'bullet' in c('Normal', 'heading 1', 'heading 2', 'heading 3', 'centered', 'graphic title', 'table title', 'toc 1', 'toc 2', 'Balloon Text')

What code did you used?

In general, it helps to provide the elements described in the guidelines displayed when you open an issue (sessionInfo(), a reproducible example).

(I think you did not use the template attached in my answer)

[davidgohel]

so you did not used the template I attached

[stefanoborini]

Sorry I missed that.

[stefanoborini]

Excellent! thanks. sorry, too much to handle at the same time.
