Setting a caption for a table in conjunction with a bookmark

[ReneHei]

Hello,

I have an issue what I can not solve on my own. Maybe someone has an idea to help me.

Issue: I can´t set a caption for a table in conjunction with a bookmark. (It works for charts for example: read_docx("some Word with bookmarks_graph") %>% docx_bookmarks() %>% cursor_bookmark( "NameOfBookmark")%>%body_add_par ("SomeTitle") %>% body_add_gg(Waterfall) ).

But this is not working for tables:

read_docx("some Word with bookmarks") %>%
docx_bookmarks() %>%
cursor_bookmark( "NameOfBookmark")%>% body_add_par("My flextable", style = "heading 3")%>%
body_add_flextable (value = table, pos = "on") %>%
print(target = "U/...")

Thank you very much and I hope its sounds not to trivial.

body_add_flextable (value = table, pos = "on")

If you add the table where is the cursor, you replace the content then the bookmark is lost because the flextable is now the new content

thank you David,

it finally worked, when I wrote the "pos ="on" " inside the body_add_par().

Thanks a lot.

Hi David, Thank you very much. I still don’t understand it. May I ask one more question: Why is body_add_flextable() working if I add the table to the bookmark without the caption? I tried to add the caption during the creation of the table and it works if I only print(…docx), so without the bookmark. With the bookmark I get an error something like "the the style is not matching” - I tried out the different styles Bw René

I can't help with no reproducible example. As always and forever.

are you sure your question is not covered in the documentation? https://ardata-fr.github.io/flextable-book/captions-and-cross-references.html or https://davidgohel.github.io/flextable/reference/set_caption.html? If not (which is possible) you need to provide a reproducible example, something I can copy paste and update or comment so that we clearly are looking at the same thing
