I’m making tables using flextable. The object initiation seems to be working fine, but I am not able to view the result in the RStudio viewer pane.

I’m using RStudio version 2024.4.1.748 and flextable version 0.9.6.

Here is a reproducible example:

library(flextable)
library(purrr)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'purrr'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:flextable':
#> 
#>     compose

my_flextable <- flextable(mtcars)

View(my_flextable)
#> Error in as.data.frame.default(x): cannot coerce class '"flextable"' to a data.frame
