Template to docx add unwanted new lines

[shadoWalker89]

Hi,

I'm using the template processor to populate a file with data and then use the saveAs('file_saved_using_template.docx'). Until here everything is working as expected.

After that i need to open the saved file with IOFactory::load('file_saved_using_template.docx') And do some additional stuff, when i'm done, i download the file using

$phpWord->save('My report.docx', 'Word2007', true);

The problem is that i find a lot of new lines in the downloaded file My report.docx, that doesn't exist in file_saved_using_template.docx

The problem is that in the file_saved_using_template.docx` i find bookmarks like this

<w:bookmarkStart w:id="0" w:name="_GoBack"/><w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0"/> which causes the new lines in the final downloaded file.

I looked around and i found out that these bookmarks are added to maintain the cursor position. In the file_saved_using_template.docxthery are invisible and doesn't have any effect. In theMy report.docx` they cause new lines

Looks like a bug to me. As far as I can see every run inside a paragraph is being read as as many paragraphs, which explains all the unnecessary new lines.

which is obviously not correct
