Hello,

is there a way to load the content of a .docx in a WordFragment or something similar, to put in the middle of another .docx? (with replaceVariableByWordFragment(), for example)

I would like to avoid merging existing docs: this would require to:

split my template in 2 docx files
merge the 1st part of the template + many other .docx + last part of the template

(which is really ugly :-) )

Best regards,

Hello,

There's no method to create a WordFragment from a DOCX. But you can merge a DOCX and then use DOCXPath to move it to any position of the document.

On https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/merge-docx-documents-anywhere you can find a recipe that explains how to do it.

Premium licenses can do this using in-memory documents but Advanced licenses need to use documents in the file system.

Regards.
