Hello,

The easiest approach with phpdocx 16 to accomplish the requested task is to apply a transparent background to the cell contents. Please note that you need to wrap the text contents in tags (such as p or span ) to apply styles to the contents.

For example:

$html = '
<style>
    td {
        background-color: yellow;
    }
    td p, td span {
        background-color: transparent;
    }
</style>
<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="500">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td width="400"><p>1_1</p></td>
            <td width="400"><p>1_2</p></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><span>2_1</span></td>
            <td><span>2_2</span></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>';
$docx->embedHTML($html);

This same approach may work with some previous phpdocx versions.

Regards.
