I want to have flextables in a word document where I have linebreaks in some cells. My data is like in the following example:
Flexiris <-
iris %>%
setDT %>%
.[, Species := str_replace_all(Species, "[aeiou]", "\n")]
> head(Flexiris)
Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
1: 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 s\nt\ns\n
2: 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 s\nt\ns\n
3: 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 s\nt\ns\n
4: 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 s\nt\ns\n
5: 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 s\nt\ns\n
6: 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 s\nt\ns\n
Now I convert the data.frame to a huxtable (yes, it has to be in my case) and then to flextable.
Flexiris <- Flexiris %>%
as_hux %>%
as_FlexTable
The output is shown perfectly in the RStudio console. Then I print the output into a word document:
Document <- read_docx("XXXXX.docx")
Document %>%
body_add_par("New flextable") %>%
body_add_flextable(value = Flexiris)
print(Document, target = "Trash.docx")
In my Word document it looks like this:

The problem isn't that the remaining text is missing but there is no word wrap in the table in the document. What can I do?
