    Hello, We're having an issue where replacing image placeholders in template generates a corrupted document. MS Word Error message is as follows: "We're sorry. We can't open document_name because we found a problem with its contents. Details: The file is corrupt and cannot be opened". When hitting OK, I get: "Word found unreadable content in document_name. Do you want to recover the contents of this document?". Hitting "Yes" seems to recover a well formed document. A dialog appears with a list of repairs, all being "Sections and Headers". Thanks in advance.

    Hello, Please post or send a simple script that replicate the issue. The message you post is a generic error from Word, and we can't guess what's wrong. And please run the example replaceVariableByWordFragment/sample_1.php to check if the library is working fine on your server. Regards.

    The problem was, that the filename contained a dot. So any image with a "." in the name would generate a corrupted word file.
