export2word.Rd

This function creates automatically a Word file with the table.

Usage

export2word(x, file, which.table="descr", nmax=TRUE, header.labels=c(), 
            caption=NULL, strip=FALSE, first.strip=FALSE, background="#D2D2D2", 
            size=NULL, header.background=NULL, header.color=NULL)

Arguments

x

an object of class 'createTable' or that inherits it.

file

character specifying the word file (.doc or .docx) resulting after compiling the Markdown code corresponding to the table specified in the 'x' argument.

which.table

character indicating which table is printed. Possible values are 'descr' or 'avail'(partial matching allowed), exporting descriptives by groups table or availability data table, respectively. Default value is 'descr'.

nmax

logical, indicating whether to show the number of subjects with at least one valid value across all row-variables. Default value is TRUE.

header.labels

see the 'header.labels' argument from createTable.

caption

character specifying the table caption for descriptives and available data table. If which.table='both' the first element of 'caption' will be assigned to descriptives table and the second to available data table. If it is set to "", no caption is inserted. Default value is NULL, which writes 'Summary descriptives table by groups of 'y” for descriptives table and 'Available data by groups of 'y” for the available data table.

strip

logical. It shadows table lines corresponding to each variable.

first.strip

logical. It determines whether to shadow the first variable (TRUE) or the second (FALSE). It only applies when strip argument is true.

background

color code in HEX format for shadowed lines. You can use rgb function to convert red, green and blue to HEX code. Default color is '#D2D2D2'.

size

numeric. Size of descriptive table. Default value is NULL which creates the table in default size.

header.background

color character for table header or 'NULL'. Default value is 'NULL'.

header.color

color character for table header text. Default color is 'NULL'.

Note

Word file is created after compiling Markdown code created by export2md. To compile it it calls render function which requires pandoc to be installed.
