Template not working

[Mella91]

Hi,

I'm new to PHPWord and I'm trying to allow in my website the download of a document .docx.
I've started doing a simple test with the code below:

require_once 'PHPWord.php';
$PHPWord = new PHPWord();
$template = $PHPWord->loadTemplate('Template.docx');
$template->setValue('Name', 'Somebody someone');
$template->setValue('Street', 'Coming-Undone-Street 32');
$template->save('helloWorld.docx');

This gives me a corrupt file helloWorld.docx that I can't open.

I've tried to add the lines:

$objWriter = PHPWord_IOFactory::createWriter($PHPWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');

And in this way the script outputs me 2 file: one helloWorld.docx empty and another equal to the template.

What could be the problem?
Thanks.

I've found the problem!

I have made the template with OpenOffice and then it isn't a Microsoft Word document.
Now I've made it with Google Docs and exported like a Microsoft Word docx and it works.

Thnx Google!
