Hi, I have already use the PHPWORD but it only creates .docx file not modify. I want to edit the existing word files. And if files in .doc then it will as it in .doc extension and if file is .docx then it will be in same format. Please reply,

I'm the developer of PHPWord. You can use the PHPWord_Template Class to open an existing DOCX File and then replace some text marks with your individual text.

Alternatively you can open the DOCX file with the ZipArchive extension and then read/write every xml File (document.xml, header.xml, footer.xml, ...) you want. This method is nothing else than the PHPWord_Template class. ;)
