I was able to generate a word document report having a simple table using R markdown but I was not able to generate the report with table having grids.

I tried to create a reproducible code.

---
title: "Unable to create table having grids"
output: word_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

## R Markdown simple table

Tables             Are           Cool
-------------     -----------   -----------
col 3 is         right-aligned  $1600 
col 2 is         centered         $12 
zebra stripes    are neat         $1"


## Table Does Not have grids in it.

You can set custom css for your rmarkdown document that can control table appearance. – Jake Kaupp Nov 15 '16 at 02:27
The markdown grid is just a markup, the HTML/PDF/Word table will not necessary have a grid -- it depends on the stylesheet/reference document used there. – daroczig Nov 15 '16 at 08:21
Thank you for the help. But when I try to add custom style sheet, it doesn't support in word document, it only works for html document. – radhikesh93 Nov 15 '16 at 14:36
see the manual and the `--reference-docx` option – mb21 Nov 15 '16 at 19:14
I tried to use reference-docx, but in that we cannot change the style of the table to grid. – radhikesh93 Nov 16 '16 at 01:53
I'm not sure... maybe some on the pandoc-discuss mailing list knows... – mb21 Nov 16 '16 at 07:30
