Details

You can modify the memo template by either creating a .basefile.docx file under your HOME directory or by modifying the templates/memoTemplate contained in the package library. Note that the text use as placeholders for passed information (DATESEC, TOSEC, etc.) should NOT be changed.

To find the location of your HOME directory, run `Sys.getenv("HOME")`.

To find the location of the included template file, run `system.file("templates", package = "startProject")`.
