[R] Fwd: Cannot generate a *.docx file

[Robert Baer]

I don't know what the error is, but your code snippet worked fine for me 
on Windows 10, R 3.4.0-patched.

I noticed that rJava is a dependency.   Don't know that the patch or 
Java updates I installed today could be a difference, but you might 
update packages, patched version,  Java, etc  and try again [since it 
worked here pasted right from your example].
