Hello,

The default behaviour of MS Word is autofit table widths. You can set column widths but if the content of a cell doesn't fit a width then MS Word increase it width automatically.

You can force column widths setting tableLayout as fixed:

$tblConfig = array(
        'border' => 'single',
        'cellMargin' => 125,
        'tableStyle' => 'TableGridPHPDOCX',
        'tableAlign' => 'center',
        'columnWidths' => array(1000,1000,1000),
        'textProperties' => array('font' => 'Arial', 'fontSize' => 10),
        'tableLayout' => 'fixed',
);
$docx->addTable($tblRows, $tblConfig);

This option is explained on the addTable API page:
