Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4
Heading 5 - this is for the page break with MS Word

In the MS Word document, the following modifications must be made in the ‘Modify Style’ menu:

  • Set the font color to ‘white’ (rather than ‘Automatic’).
  • Select the smallest font size (8 rather than 11).
  • Select ‘Page break before’ in the ‘Line and Page Breaks’ tab.
  • Set the line spacing to ‘Exactly’ and ‘1 pt’ in the ‘Indents and Spacing’ tab.

After these tweaks, the ‘Heading 5’ style will no longer format a heading of level 5. Instead it will insert a very small and white (and, thus, invisible) line followed by a page break.

Now knit this doc, and edit the styles in the resulting docx file. Then rename as ‘template’ and use this in the yml:

output:
  word_document:
    reference_docx: templates/template.docx

Don’t forget line numbers for JAS! Headings are bold, underline, nothing. And Arial Narrow 10pt for tables.
