The documentation for the addText method has a parameter for the line spacing. The document states that line spacing is a float where: 1 corresponds to single line spacing 2 to double line spacing and so long so forth However, when I set line spacing to 1, it puts each line on a single page? When I use a line spacing of 0.0015 it seems to use standard line spacing. How can I set the line spacing to 1.15? My code: $contentFragment->addText($line, [ 'font' => 'Trebuchet MS', 'color' => '000000', 'fontSize' => 11, 'widowControl' => true, 'lineBreak' => 'after', 'lineSpacing' => 1 ]);

Hi, We're normalizing the measures of all methods for the next release. So the easiest choice is that you do a minor change in the library. Please open the CreateDocx.inc class and comment or remove this line (around line 5433): $options['lineSpacing'] = ceil($options['lineSpacing'] * 240); And set the lineSpacing in twips. For example to set it as 1.5: $text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor'; $paragraphOptions = array( 'bold' => true, 'font' => 'Arial', 'lineSpacing' => 480 ); $docx->addText($text, $paragraphOptions); 360 is the value 1. So you can change it to fit your needs.

Thank you. Let's say that I wanted to set a line height of 1.15 [which is 276 = 240 * 1.15] but I was using HTML, what should my line-height style be? For example: style="line-height: 276;" or should it be style="line-height: 1.15em;", etc? Many thanks
