I tried again today from demo sites and realized that you have to either not leaving a destination file name, or have to name the destination file name with .odt to make it work.

@Bo_Wang I think openemr are not supporting the doc and docx as well as odt document. I think there will some modification needed for code.

It’s only the portal document templates that doesn’t support odt, doc and docx.
The document templates in demographic documents does however.
This is because the file is only opened raw and substitutions are made then save in same format opened.

This used to work well but it’s been awhile since I’ve used and there could be some errors due to new PHP versions.
So I recommend that the error logs are checked and reported.

The function actually worked for odt files but you have to either leave the destination file name field empty, or give the template a new name with .odt as suffix.
