I am using addSection to cause a page break to an odd numbered page. This is useful when starting a new chapter of a book. $docx->addSection('oddPage', 'A4',$layout); In this case the new section does start on an odd page so this portion is working. We're having problems using addSection in that a blank page is not created as a result of the page break. The Introduction begins on page 3. Then we issue an addSection for the first chapter. This results in the first chapter starting on page 5 -- all good. The problem is the resulting document does not contain a page 4 -- it skips directly from page 3 to page 5. I hope we will be able to use addSection instead of keeping track of the page numbering in php.
