    Hi, I have resolved this way:

    $testo='First line
    Second line';
    $testo=lf2lf($testo);
    $aTesto=explode('\\n',$testo);
    foreach ($aTesto as $testo) {
    $docx->addText($testo);
    }

    function lf2lf($text) {
    $return=str_replace("\\n",'\\n',$text);
    $return=str_replace("\\r\\n",'\\n',$return);
    return $return;
    }

    Hope this help,

    Thanks for you reply.

    If I have it right, you can use replaceTemplateVariableByHTML, converting line feed to < /br>,

    [code]
    $text='first line
    second line';

    $text=str_replace("\n",'\n',$text);

    $text=str_replace('\n','<br />',$text);

    $parHTML=array('isFile' => false, 'parseDivsAsPs' => true,'downloadImages' => false);

    $docx->replaceTemplateVariableByHTML('templateVariable','inline',$text,$parHTML);
    [/code]

    Regards,
