Hello,

Please check the included sample Core/addTable/sample_3.php, it includes rowspan and colspan values and MS Word, LibreOffice and OpenOffice open it fine.

Maybe you are using an old version of LibreOffice? Please update to the latest version of LibreOffice (5.4 is the newest). If you are using OpenOffice you may need using OdfConverter, the support of DOCX for OpenOffice is not as good as LibreOffice.

Regards.

We now discovered that Libreoffice opens it fine _if_ the last row does NOT contain any colspans.

This is also true for the examples on the addTable() API page. They work fine on Libreoffice (Which caused us to try some more and investigate). Everything seems to work fine _until_ you put a row which uses _a_ colspan somewhere as the last row in the table

Hello,

We are going to check it in detail, but all our tests pass fine using addTable. As quick solution, as you are using an Advanced license you could add an extra row to the table, and before generate the DOCX remove that extra row using DOCXPath:

Will try with removing the element.

For now I made a little helper utility that counts the number of columns and rows, and adds an extra row with empty columns, and sets the row properties of that row to a height of 1 without border. So basically invisible row. Seems to work fine for now. 

Can you give a quick example of how the xpath query would look, or how you would remove removeWordContent for something like this? Didn't use it before

Hello,

Please check the included sample DocxPath/removeWordContent/sample_9.php . It removes the second row but you just need to replace the position by last value to remove the last row.

DOCXPath can word with templates and DOCX created from scratch.

Regards.
