CASE STUDIES

Fixed table widths using addTable

MS Word default behaviour regarding tables is to expand cell space if its content surpasses its initial size. In order to create a fixed size table with contents that don't enlarge it, it is required to use fixed style:

$paramsTable = array(
    'tableLayout' => 'fixed',
    // other styles
    'columnWidths' => array(1000, 2500, 3000),
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);

Otherwise, if fixed is not specified, Word uses the autofit style, with which it handles the best possible width fit.
