Hello,

The current version of phpdocx only allows using margin-top and margin-bottom for cells. You could MS Word custom styles to get the output you need, but the next version of phpdocx will include support for margin-left and margin-right for cells (other contents already support them).

It's current being tested, but if you want to test it, please edit the HTML2WordML.inc file and replace the tcPrSpacing method by these new code:

private function tcPrSpacing($properties)
{
    $top = $left = $bottom = $right = array(0, 'auto');

    if (!empty($properties['margin_top'])) {
        $top = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['margin_top'], $properties['font_size']);
    }
    if (!empty($properties['padding_top'])) {
        $temp = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['padding_top'], $properties['font_size']);
        if ($temp[0] > $top[0])
            $top = $temp;
    }

    if (!empty($properties['margin_bottom'])) {
        $bottom = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['margin_bottom'], $properties['font_size']);
    }
    if (!empty($properties['padding_bottom'])) {
        $temp = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['padding_bottom'], $properties['font_size']);
        if ($temp[0] > $bottom[0])
            $bottom = $temp;
    }

    if (!empty($properties['margin_left'])) {
        $left = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['margin_left'], $properties['font_size']);
    }
    if (!empty($properties['padding_left'])) {
        $temp = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['padding_left'], $properties['font_size']);
        if ($temp[0] > $left[0])
            $left = $temp;
    }

    if (!empty($properties['margin_right'])) {
        $right = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['margin_right'], $properties['font_size']);
    }
    if (!empty($properties['padding_right'])) {
        $temp = $this->_wordMLUnits($properties['padding_right'], $properties['font_size']);
        if ($temp[0] > $right[0])
            $right = $temp;
    }

    $spacing = '<w:tcMar>';
    $spacing .= '<w:top w:w="' . $top[0] . '" w:type="' . $top[1] . '"/>';
    $spacing .= '<w:left w:w="' . $left[0] . '" w:type="' . $left[1] . '"/>';
    $spacing .= '<w:bottom w:w="' . $bottom[0] . '" w:type="' . $bottom[1] . '"/>';
    $spacing .= '<w:right w:w="' . $right[0] . '" w:type="' . $right[1] . '"/>';
    $spacing .= '</w:tcMar>';
    return $spacing;
}

After applying these changes, both left and right margins will work for cells.

Regards.
