Word > 2007

[jonnsn]

Hi,

I wanted to implement Support for Table Captions and make a Fork here but ran into an error when opening the resulting docx. The xml is actually fine, but as I recognized it is not supported in Word 2007 (was added in 2008).

Is it planned to support Features of Word > 2007? What would I have to do to get it working for me? Are there alternatives for word 2007?
Thanks for your suggestions!

What client did you use to open the resulting docx? You can use the setOoxmlVersion method as outlined here to set the docx to be compatible with Word 2010 or 2013.

I am using Office 2013.
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried the code, but it did not work:

Call to undefined method PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord::getCompatibility()

When was this added? I can't find a method with this name here on github too.

[ivanlanin]

Ups. I forgot to tell you that this method is on the develop branch.

[jonnsn]

I see :-) Thank you - I'll try it and report again (might be tomorrow)!

Update: With the develop branch everything worked fine.
Thanks again!

But I misunderstood the meaning of caption in this context, as this is only a non-visible Table-Title (only visible via Table-Properties in Word).

[ivanlanin]

So what you want to achieve is to get a table caption like when you right click a table on Word and select "Insert Caption..."?

[jonnsn]

Exactly. Could not find something for this yet. Guess i have to make it as headers?

[ivanlanin]

I think this is a good enhancement. Can you open a new issue for this? At least we write down what we want :)

[jonnsn]

done :)
