通过剪贴板将数据从R直接复制到单词表中

Question

Sometimes is could be quite convenient to directly copy data from R into Word.

For example if I have the following out put in R

c(1, 2)
[1] 1 2

When I copy the output and try to paste it into a Word table with 1 row and 2 columns it doesn't work as the output will only be copied in into only one cell.

Is there a quick way to do this?

You can use the flextable package to create an MS Office table in Word.

library(flextable)
ft <- flextable(head(iris))
print(ft, preview = 'docx') # this will open a new word file with the table pasted in
