Table: fix row width

[HaydenHewlett]

Hello!

I have a problem with table rows: I want to fix the width and when a user adds text in the generated document the width stills fixed.
Actually it seems the $table->addCell($width); gives only a min-width for the cell and i want to set a max.

Can I do that?

I just found out that you have to set style "layout" fixed on your table like below

$fancyTableStyle = [
    'borderSize'  => 6,
    'borderColor' => '000000',
    'cellMargin'  => 80,
    'alignment'   => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\SimpleType\JcTable::CENTER,
    'layout'      => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Table::LAYOUT_FIXED,
];
$table = $section->addTable($fancyTableStyle);

and then the long word will wrap itself inside the cell.

If you preset a table style on your phpword object, the layout style won't work.

$fancyTableStyleName = 'Fancy Table';
$fancyTableStyle = [
    'borderSize'  => 6,
    'borderColor' => '000000',
    'cellMargin'  => 80,
    'alignment'   => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\SimpleType\JcTable::CENTER,
    'layout'      => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Table::LAYOUT_FIXED,
];
//table will not be fixed
$table = $section->addTable($fancyTableStyleName);

In ms word you also need to set the autofit option directly on each table, maybe that's why.

I think this issue can be closed?
