FYI, I got an error when trying the word default, saying: Error: Functions that produce HTML output found in document targeting docx output. Please change the output type of this document to HTML. Alternatively, you can allow HTML output in non-HTML formats by adding this option to the YAML front-matter of your rmarkdown file:
always_allow_html: true
Note however that the HTML output will not be visible in non-HTML formats.
So I had to add the recommended line before the output (after did not work): title: "Who's Getting Vaccinated for Measles in U.S. Schools?" author: "Abby Isaacson" date: "3/22/2021" always_allow_html: true output: word_document: default html_document: toc: TRUE number_sections: FALSE
This yielded the default Word doc, however my second question (which has been true for your paged report templates as well): The leaflet map I created in the last section has disappeared. When I knit to PDF, the map is still there just not interactive. With paged report or Word, it's just gone. Any tips?

Hi! Is it possible to apply themes to a table and make it appear with that theme in Word?
Chris Matthis • May 26, 2022
I think the solution video and the main video are the same 53 second clip. Should the main one be different and introduce the template building? Thanks!
Sara Cifuentes • June 9, 2022
Hello, I have created a template document. However, when I knit it, I do not receive any error, and the word document maintains the default appearance without changes.
output: word_document: reference_docx: template.docx html_document: toc: TRUE toc_depth: 2 toc_float: TRUE

Hi David, I ran into a bit of trouble. Parts of my chosen template document have come over to my report, but not all. I've described what I see in the video linked below. Any ideas? https://www.loom.com/share/017e9dbe8597432d92e7554f1f9207f4
