Update existing table of contents and table of tables officer r

Question

Is there a way using officer to update an existing table of contents and table of tables with in my document? I know about the function body_add_toc() but is there a way to update these elements without having to recreate them?

Answer 1

No, TOC is beeing computed by Word. R does not know what content goes in what page. From what I know, the only way to achieve that would be a VBS Macro.
