When I'm opening a docx file generated by R package officer which is inserted with a tiff picture file, the Office 2016 throw me an error massage.

example:

library(magrittr)
library(ggplot2)
library(officer)

img <- "test.tiff"
pic <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, disp)) + geom_point()
img %>% ggsave(pic, width = 6, height = 3)

read_docx() %>% 
    body_add_img(img, width = 6, height = 3) %>% 
    print(target = "test.docx")

Then when opening test.docx, I got an error massage

We're sorry. We can't open test.docx because we found a problem with its contents.

Details

The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.

After I press 'OK' button, Word ask me if I want to recover the contents of the document. Choose 'yes' then I got a Document1 with correct picture in it.

I tried .jpg and .png format, and they both worked correctly, so this can be a work-around for now. Is this a bug or just me making mistakes? Either way it is truly welcomed to enlighten me, thanks.

As written here, only png, jpg and emf have been tested. However, support for tiff is quite easy to integrate, I will push un an update to handle that later today on Github.
