Your Turn

Export your last table as a .docx-, .png- and .pptx-file. For the .png-file use the webshot2 package (which you need to have installed). You will also need to install phantomJS, which you can download here. Beware that in the output .pptx-file there can be empty cells that have a huge font. This will cause the line heights of the cells to be large. You have to manually tweak this.
