How to add formatted paragraphs to a bullet list in docx

[Joaogvcostaneto]

Hi David,

I was trying to print a bullet list with formatted paragraphs in a docx file but it seems I can't get both at the same time (bullet list and formatted), is there any way of getting it that I'm not considering? I have been reading the documentation an trying different solutions but nothing satisfactory so far... Here's an example of the code that I tried:

library(magrittr)

text_format_red <- fp_text(color = "red")
text_format_green <- fp_text(color = "green")
text_format_blue <- fp_text(color = "blue")
my_text_red <- fpar("item 1 in red", fp_t = text_format_red)
my_text_green <- fpar("item 2 in green", fp_t = text_format_green)
my_text_blue <- fpar("item 3 in blue", fp_t = text_format_blue)

doc <- read_docx("template.docx") %>%
  body_add_fpar(my_text_red, style = "BulletList") %>% 
  body_add_fpar(my_text_green, style = "BulletList") %>% 
  body_add_fpar(my_text_blue, style = "BulletList") 

print(doc, "report_test4.docx")  

also attach a picture of the output of it

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
João

Yes, it's a missing feature for Word. It's a difficult part and it may take time before being implemented.

Hi @davidgohel ,
Also interested in this feature as I'm trying to generate a two column layout with bullet points in one column and a map and caption in the other.

Very unfamiliar with development of packages, but curious to know more about how you think it could be implemented and what I might be able to do to help.
