I'm making a powerpoint report in R using the officer package and can't figure out how to change the default layout to widescreen. The default aspect ratio is 4:3 but I'd like it widescreen (16:9). Any ideas on how to do this?

  • I remember having the same issue. Solved it with a template inside read_pptx(). I cannot find the project now, but I think I used this link: https://github.com/davidgohel/officer/issues/218 – Bloxx Jul 22 '21 at 12:53
  • @Bloxx I came across this link as well but wasn't sure how to write that in the read_pptx() function. I tried read_pptx(layout = "Blank") but that doesn't work. I also assume I have to reference an existing template because I'm not sure if any of the layouts offered are widescreen. Any thoughts? – Logowilliams Jul 22 '21 at 19:16

    Yes. I used this tutorial: https://github.com/JoeNoonan/r-officer-pptx-tutorial/blob/main/r-officer-pptx-tutorial.R You read in empty pptx with desired properties which then works as a template. (line 61-65) – Bloxx Jul 22 '21 at 19:27
