Hi

I have a simple word document with a table with two cells that contain A1 and A2 respectively (see https://ibb.co/pRS2xN1).

I need to

  • Find the table-cell styling (background, border/borderWidth/borderColor) of the cells containing A1 and A2
  • Find out the margins of the document (basically a getPageLayout() equivalent to modifyPageLayout())

Is this possible with phpdocx? Are there any examples on how to go about this?

I have been trying to use getWordStyles() but without much luck. Even using something as simple as:

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate(resource_path('word/query_test.docx'));
$referenceNode = array(
   'type' => 'table-cell',
);
print_r($docx->getWordStyles($referenceNode));

I would at least expect some output but I don't get anything. Also tried

$referenceNode = array(
   'type' => 'table-cell',
   'contains' => 'A1',
);

Which would be my ideal solution of course but probably won't work as A1 itself is a paragraph and I would have to construct a query to search for table cell containing a paragraph that contains A1 instead. But as I don't get anything with just searching for type 'table-cell' I am not sure this is even possible.

Any help appreciated.

Regards
