Create Header and Footer in the .docx report using R?

Question

I want the header and footer to repeat in every page of the .docx report. Everyone is suggesting use the RMarkdown to get the header and footer. Is it possible using R? I am using Officer package for .docx report. I want this header & footer in the Clinical reports.

In SAS we can get using the "Header" & "Footer statement". How to get it in the R?

Please help me on this, as am new to R programming.

Thanks & Regards Vamsi

Using ‘officer’, you can design a content-empty .docx file with your header and footer first, and read it and merge your report, then, the h&f will repeat in your report.

Already using officer package and following the same process what you have suggested. Do we have any direct code to get Header and Footer? – VAMSI KRISHNA Gundabattuni Mar 28 '23 at 12:16
You can edit docx file directly, which is a zipped file of xml file with folder. – Jack Hsueh Apr 03 '23 at 05:25
