    I'v been struggling with getting html tables styled so that I could control their width. Both the whole table tag but also just set the individual rows. Is this not possible with phpdocx_pro?
    All the html is fine.
    I should mention that I'm viewing the docx's in Microsoft Word 2008 on a mac

    $html = '<table style="border-style: solid; width: 400px;">';
    $html .= '<tr>';
    $html .= '<td>first</td>';
    $html .= '<td>second</td>';
    $html .= '</tr>';
    $html .= '</table>';
    $docx->embedHTML($html);

    Hello,

    Please try embedHTML method that transforms HTML to WordML.

    Regards.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Isn't that what I'm already using?

    $html = ‘<table style=”border-style: solid; width: 400px;”>’;
    $html .= ‘<tr>’;
    $html .= ‘<td>first</td>’;
    $html .= ‘<td>second</td>’;
    $html .= ‘</tr>’;
    $html .= ‘</table>’;

    HERE:
    [b]$docx->embedHTML($html);[/b]

    I then get an error when I open it in Word, saying the file is damaged and can't be opened?
