    Hello,
    I have following problem. I use PhpDOCX (v3.0 PRO) to generate mail merge documents using docx templates, and addDOCX method. Everything works great, but the numbered lists are numbered wrong - example:

    I have a list in my template with points 1,2,3,4. I expect that after merging all multiple files generated from template, I obtain one file, with multiple pages, where lists are numbered starting from 1 on each page. However in the output file, the lists numbering is continuous: on page 1: 1,2,3,4, on page 2: 5,6,7,8, etc


    Please help me to solve this problem.

    Hi, I'm using version 4.5 and I'm still having the same problem. I am merging docxs and when merging, my number format should be: - 1.6 - 1.6.1 - 1.6.2 - 1.7 - 1.8 - 1.8.1 - 1.2.2 instead of 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 I am getting 1.6.3 and 1.6.4. This is an issue that seems to have been solved a couple of years ago, so what's the way to solve it? Thanks

    Hello, To do this you need to use the mergeDocx method (http://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/docxutilities/merge-Word-documents-with-PHP), available in Corporate and Enterprise licenses. The old addDocx method (replaced by addExternalFile in phpdocx 4), uses the Word altchunk tag that doesn't preserve some styles and content properties. The mergeDocx uses a new MultiMerge class to do the merges perfectly. Using addExternalFile you can set matchSource as false to don't preserve the styles and use the included in the base DOCX. Regards.

    Hi admin, Thanks for the response. We have the Corporate License and this is actually happening with the method mergeDocx: I couldn't use the addExternalFile method as this one even though it respects de format it erases all the styles, and I needed them in order to update the TOC. I expected the mergeDocx function to respect the upper indention of the numbering instead following it's same indention of previus parts; I have tried also setting the 'numbering' parameter of the funciont to both 'continue' and 'restart', having the same behavious for both. I know that I have written down correctly as the parameter 'mergeType' is working well. Shoud I open a new Topic with this matter?

    Hello, Yes, please open a new post. Also please send the DOCX your're merging to contact[at]phpdocx.com and we'll check it. Regards.

    Hello, The issue was in the template. The template was forcing a default heading style. Regards.
