Thank you! That worked perfectly on my first try!!!

If there is no data for the table, I simply created one row of fake data containing recognizable text, then placed that into the table with replaceTableVariable(). After that I deleted the table following the example like this:

  $referenceNode = array(
    'type' => 'table',
    'contains' => 'DeleteDelete',
  );
  $docx->removeWordContent($referenceNode);

 

The user is making the template so I don't know anything about it unless I insert my own content. Does this sound like a good approach, or is there an easier way?

I think your reply stopped one or two words short. You said "deleteTemplateBlock is designed to work with ." 

What is that designed to work with?
