Hello,

What version of MS Word are you using?, not the revision number but the main version (MS Word 2007, MS Word 2010, MS Word 2013, MS Word 365... How are you generating the list? using embedHTML, addList or a template?

We have tested the lists using the latest revision of MS Word 2019 and the output is correct in all cases, but doing more tests we have checked that the latest release of MS Word 365 has added a maximum value to numId in lists that doesn't fit OOXML standard. We are doing more tests, please post the MS Word program you are using (MS Word 2007, 2010, 2019, 365...)

Please send the DOCX to contact[at]phpdocx.com so we can check it with all versions from MS Word 2007 to MS Word 2019, MS Word Online, MS Word 365 and LibreOffice.

Regards.

Hi,

We are seeing the same issue on Ms Word 2019, latest. Yesterday, the documents were fine. This thursday they all appear with those ordered list instead of unordered lists.

We generate the Word file from HTML (ul > li tags).

Our code has not changed since yesterday.

All documents (including the ones generated earlier) are showing the same defect.

Hello,

All versions of phpdocx 10.0, but the trial one, have been updated to implement the new requirement.

On you can read all information about this update: https://www.phpdocx.com/news/post/important-changes-for-lists-in-the-last-ms-word-update/221

Regards.

Hello,

I've just updated to PHPDocx10 to resolve this issue but the problem remains.

Do we need to put specific options or something?

Thanks,

Hello,

No, you just need to download and use the new package available to download on MY PHPDOCX page. All users that are using the new package have checked the problem has been solved with all versions that have been updated (MS Word 2019, MS Word 365 and MS Word Online). Also all tests we have done are correct as well, and the included samples generate correct outputs in all cases.

Please check you are using the new package and not an old one and your server isn't caching the code you are running. Also please run one the included samples, such as Layout/createListStyle/sample_1.php and check its output.

If you send to contact[at]phpdocx.com a sample DOCX output you get we'll check it.

Regards.

The sample works fine indeed, but when merging two template, still have the problem (bullet are changed to ordered list).

Any advice please? 

Hello,

Thanks for the information, mergeDocx needed the same patch. It has been applied to all phpdocx 10.0 packages so it's available to be downloaded with the package. The dev team has checked the classes and no other needs to apply it.

Regards.

The newest revision (2009) includes the same limitation as revision 2008 qwhen working with numbering. The changes applied to phpdocx 10 weeks ago (https://www.phpdocx.com/news/post/important-changes-for-lists-in-the-last-ms-word-update/221) work perfectly with all versions of MS Word, LibreOffice and other DOCX readers.

Apologies for not responding after posting, we were diverted to other issues. We will try the new v10 and confirm

Dear support,

Can you confirm that documents generated with version 9 and working well until MS version 2007 are also impacted and display now a numberred list with MS version 2008 where 2007 displayed bullets points?

I mean, the PHPDocX version 10 fix the problem for newer documents, but all the documents previously generated are "broken". 

Is there an option or something else that we could do on MS Office to display older documents as generated?

Best regards

Hello,

Unfortunately, there's no option in MS Word 2019/Online/365 to add compatiblity after the update to revision 2008/2009 but removing the upgrade and use an old revision (or regenerate the documents using phpdocx). MS Word 2003, MS Word 2007, MS Word 2010, MS Word 2013, MS Word 2016, LibreOffice 5, LibreOffice 6 and LibreOffice 7 don't have this limitation from MSWord 2019 revision 2008/2009.

Regards.

That's sad.

Thank you for your answer.
