I have the same problem and I woud like to know if you get around with some solution.
The problem is related to the getElement($path, \DOMElement $contextNode = null) function parameters. The second parameter is missing at $nodes = $xmlReader->getElements('*'); call located in Word2007.php file.

That looks like a namespace or autoloader issue.

I have found the solution to this problem. As mentioned the parameters were not well handled. (A bug)
https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/PHPOffice/PHPWord/issues/master/files/src/PhpWord/Shared/XMLReader.php?orderField=path&order=asc
The problem has been solved in the development version of PHPword so just download it and check the differences.
