flextable (version 0.9.2)

keep_with_next: Set Word 'Keep with next' instructions

Description

The 'Keep with next' functionality in 'Word', applied to the rows of a table, ensures that the rows with that attribute stays together and does not break across multiple pages.

This function allows much better control of breaks between pages than the global keep_with_next parameter.

Usage

keep_with_next(x, i = NULL, value = TRUE, part = "body")

Arguments

x

a flextable object

i

rows selection

value

TRUE or FALSE. When applied to a group, all rows except the last one should be flagged with attribute 'Keep with next'.

part

partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header', 'footer')

Examples

library(flextable)
dat <- iris[c(1:25, 51:75, 101:125),]
ft <- qflextable(dat)
ft <- keep_with_next(
  x = ft,
  i = c(1:24, 26:49, 51:74),
  value = TRUE)

save_as_docx(ft, path = tempfile(fileext = ".docx"))
