Thanks - I'll have a look at these options too.
I'm happy to send over a sample document, but wasn't aware if
attachments are allowed. The documents come Lexis+, so require user
credentials to log in, but I could upload the file somewhere if that
would help? Any ideas for a good location to do
I would also look at https://pandoc.org perhaps which can
export a number of formats...
And for spreadsheets https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv is my
goto weapon. Can also read and write XLSX and others.
A sample document or two would always be helpful...

Hi Roy (& others)
Many thanks for the advice - well taken. Thanks also to the others who
have responded so quickly - I thought I might have to wait days!! :-)
I'm on a Linux (Mint) machine. Below, I document three attempts, two
using officer and the last now using textreadr
My attempts so far
It sounded like he looked at officeR but I would agree

You can loop thi
textreadr would be the obvious approach.
When you say it is depreciated do you mean it's not available on cran?
Sometimes maintaining a package on cran in just a pain in the ass.
devtools::install_github("trinker/textreadr")
Should let you install it.
In theory docx files are actually just zip
checkout the 'officer' package
Thanks

Hi Andy:
I don’t have an answer but I do have what I hope is some friendly advice.
Generally the more information you can provide, the more likely you will get
help that is useful. In your case you say that you tried several packages and
they didn’t do what you wanted. Providing that code,
