Good morning,

I'm working on a template integration. I'm not responsible of the template, i have a team in charge of building templates that provide them to me and i just need to do the integration part.

Very often when i receive their template is is not working with phpdocx. the document is generated but when i open it in word, Word says "there is an error in the document" and then open it but updating items (and i don't always know what it does).

I found that cleaning up the file in word2k7 "Office"=>"Prepare"=>"Inspect Document" is fixing the issues in most cases.

I'm wondering why this is happening. Before getting through phpdocx the template works find. When adding the template to a phpdocx document and replacing variables, in some cases phpdocx "corrupt" the result.

I think of 2 possibilities :

1- The phpdocx parser is missing some configurations
2- The Word opendocument implementation is crap


Are you aware of those issues with corrupted documents and are you updating your solution to better support the DOCX output ?
