Tables without spacing between them

By default, MS Word necessarily places a paragraph between tables. To display two tables without that spacing separation, the best solution is adding a paragraph with the minimum space. This can be done using a DOCX program when working with a template or phpdocx in tables created from scratch:

$valuesTable = array(
    array('A.1', 'A.2'),
    array('B.1', 'B.2')
);

$paramsTable = array(
    'border' => 'single',
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);

// new empty paragraph with the minimum size
$docx->addText('', array('fontSize' => 1, 'spacing' => 0, 'spacingBottom' => 0, 'spacingTop' => 0, 'lineSpacing' => 0));

// remove borderTop for the cells of the first row of the second table to avoid adding two borders
$col_1_1 = array(
    'value' => 'N.1', 
    'border' => 'single',
    'borderTop' => 'nil',
);

$col_1_2 = array(
    'value' => 'N.2', 
    'border' => 'single',
    'borderTop' => 'nil',
);

$valuesTable = array(
    array($col_1_1, $col_1_2),
);

$paramsTable = array(
    'border' => 'single',
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);
