CASE STUDIES

Remove the last paragraph in a DOCX

When creating a new MS Word document it is usual to add an empty paragraph at the end. This paragraph can generate a new blank page, for example in LibreOffice if the existing content fills the whole previous page.

Deleting that last paragraph is as easy as executing:

$referenceNode = array(
    'type' => 'paragraph',
    'ocurrence' => '-1',
);

$docx->removeWordContent($referenceNode);

This code can be called when creating a new document or to generate a new base template already clean and ready to be reused.

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('document.docx');

$referenceNode = array(
    'type' => 'paragraph',
    'ocurrence' => '-1',
);

$docx->removeWordContent($referenceNode);

$docx->createDocx('template');
