Adding document authors and alt text for images

[Lotem]

Hello,

I'm using ReporteRs to create hundreds of automated documents, and it's been super useful! However I've been running up against two issues with this package that I haven't been able to resolve: filling out the Author field and adding alt text for images. 

• Author field: In Word, this can be accessed in the document properties (File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties). I'm using a template where I have this filled out correctly, but when I create new documents from the template the field gets overwritten, and my user account on the computer is being put as the Author. Is there a way to access and modify this property from ReporteRs? Perhaps something similar to setting the Title when the document is first created? The other fields in the properties stay the same between the template and the outputs. 
• Alt text for images: I've added alt text for a few images in my template, but these are also removed in the outputs. There are also images I add to each document (not in the template) for which I would like to add alt text. Is there support for accessing and editing alt text through ReporteRs? In Word this can be done by right-clicking a picture > Format Picture > Layout & Properties > Alt Text.

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

For Q1, author field is available in officer, not in ReporteRs.

For Q2: Alt text is not available from ReporteRs (nor officer)
