I'm creating a table from a template with a custom table style. Sometimes I would like to override the text alignment of one of the columns in the table and make it left aligned instead of centered. I've tried to create a WordFragment for each cell in that column and set 'textAlign' => 'left' but this does not work.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hello,

When you create a table from scratch, you can set dynamic aligment. The sample Core/addTable/sample_4.php included in all package illustrates how to do it.

If you need to change the table align of a template, you can use three approaches:

  • Use the block type replacement to remove the whole paragraph and replace the placeholder by a new WordFragment with the new align if you are using a Basic, Advanced or Premium license.
  • Use DOCXPath to replace the cell content by a new WordFragment with the new alignment if you are using an Advanced or Premium license.
  • Use DOCXCustomizer if you are using a Premium license.

Regards.
