PHPWord is a library written in pure PHP that provides a set of classes to write to and read from different document file formats. The current version of PHPWord supports Microsoft [Office Open XML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML) (OOXML or OpenXML), OASIS [Open Document Format for Office Applications](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument) (OpenDocument or ODF), and [Rich Text Format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format) (RTF).

With PHPWord, you can create DOCX, ODT, or RTF documents dynamically using your PHP 5.3+ scripts. Below are some of the things that you can do with PHPWord library:

* Set document properties, e.g. title, subject, and creator.
* Create document sections with different settings, e.g. portrait/landscape, page size, and page numbering
* Create header and footer for each sections
* Set default font type, font size, and paragraph style
* Use UTF-8 and East Asia fonts/characters
* Define custom font styles (e.g. bold, italic, color) and paragraph styles (e.g. centered, multicolumns, spacing) either as named style or inline in text
* Insert paragraphs, either as a simple text or complex one (a text run) that contains other elements
* Insert titles (headers) and table of contents
* Insert text breaks and page breaks
* Insert and format images, either local, remote, or as page watermarks
