    Hi there,

    We have created a .dotm with a macro that we use to generate a new .docx file with phpdocx that should contain this macro. If we open this .docx in LibreOffice, it open (but with warning). However, in Word, it won't open at all, without any warning or message. Is this a known issue?

    Hello,

    A DOCX that contains a macro must have docm extension, not docx, otherwise it thows an error when opening it with MS Word or LibreOffice. The following code generates a document with a macro (examples/LayoutAndGeneral/addMacroFromDoc/sample_1.php):

    $docx = new CreateDocx('docm');

$docx->addMacroFromDoc('../../files/fileMacros.docm');

$docx->createDocx('example_addMacroFromDoc_1');
rename('example_addMacroFromDoc_1.docx', 'example_addMacroFromDoc_1.docm');

    There's no known issues when importing macros or using a document that contains one or more macros. If you send to contact[at]phpdocx.com the file, we'll check it.

    Regards.
