officer 0.6.6.9000

Issues

• Fix. docx_summary preserves non-breaking hyphens. Non-breaking hyphens are replaced with a hyphen-minus (Unicode character 002D). Closes #573.

Features

Formatting properties are stored in a list column run, where each element is a dataframe with rows corresponding to a single run and columns containing the information on formatting properties.
