save_as_pptx()

Save one or more flextable objects into a PowerPoint (.pptx) file.

save_as_pptx() writes one or more flextable objects to a PowerPoint file, placing each table on its own slide. This is a convenience function that wraps the officer package. For more control over slide layout and positioning, use the officer API directly.

PowerPoint ignores captions. The caption set by set_caption() is not included in PowerPoint output.
