    I've got a Table of Contents.  The table is populated by the different Heading Level styles.  I can use "Heading1PHPDOCX" as the pStyle to get the TOC to populate correctly.  However, I need the styling of the Heading1PHPDOCX to be different.  How do I change the look of that particular style?  I see how to create styles.  How do you edit existing styles?

    Hello,

    UPDATE: DOCXCustomizer, available in Premium licenses since phpdocx 7.0, allows to change existing styles on-the-fly.

    The current version of phpdocx doesn't support changing existing styles, only create, add and import them. You can use a custom DOCX as base template with the styles you need.

    The new DOCXPath (http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/docxpath) allows to change the body content dynamically, and in the future this same class will be used to support changing other contents such as styles, headers, footers...

    Regards.

    Okay, I don't mind creating new Styles.  That's fine.  How do I tell the TOC to look at my NewStyle1 as the Level 1 TOC entries?  That's my real issue.  I can't use the existing Heading 1 style because I need it to look different.

    Hello,

    The addTablesOfContent method allows to set a paragraph style and custom styles, or even import an existing TOC style from a file.

    And using the headingLevel property you can a text as content to appear in the TOC. This text can be styled as needed.

    Regards.
