Hello,

MS Word requires adding a paragraph between tables:

If you open MS Word, a table is added and then you try to add a new table without adding at least a paragraph you can check MS Word doesn't allow adding the new table.

The best solution is generating a single table (instead of two) or adding a paragraph with the minimum space (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59106925/html-to-doc-add-minimum-space-between-tables), for example, using phpdocx to set the minimum space between tables:

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$valuesTable = array(
    array('A.1', 'A.2'),
    array('B.1', 'B.2')
);

$paramsTable = array(
    'border' => 'single',
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);

// new paragraph with the minimum size
$docx->addText('', array('fontSize' => 1, 'spacing' => 0, 'spacingBottom' => 0, 'spacingTop' => 0, 'lineSpacing' => 0));

// remove borderTop for the cells of the first row of the second table to avoid adding two borders
$col_1_1 = array(
    'value' => 'N.1', 
    'border' => 'single',
    'borderTop' => 'nil',
);

$col_1_2 = array(
    'value' => 'N.2', 
    'border' => 'single',
    'borderTop' => 'nil',
);

$valuesTable = array(
    array($col_1_1, $col_1_2),
);

$paramsTable = array(
    'border' => 'single',
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);

If you need to add a lot of tables, instead of setting the syles in each paragraph to separate paragrahs you can create a custom paragraph style using customParagraphStyle.

Regards.
