Generate rows in a grid on a Word document with MS Word Doc from Template Smart Service

Question

Hello everyone, 
 I'm trying to generate a word document thanks to MS Word Doc from Template Smart Service. 
 In this document I want to put a grid wich will create a new row for each new item in my array variable , I tried with the joinarray() function with <w:p/> in separator but it isn't create new row in the word template grid, it just put a break line. 
 
 Do you know how can I generate this grid ? 
 
 Thanks for your help

Hi, 
 I'm attaching a demo app I developed a few years ago, for your reference. I must caveat that this was mostly written before a!forEach existed, and before I knew how to use JSON, else I would've done certain things much differently. But it's stable and working. 
 The app contains one process model which you can run and it demonstrates the table generation in a word document. You can then use the global rules it contains to do your own table generation in your own process model as needed.

I've written such functionality in the past. Basically you need to write rules that inject the necessary wordML into the template, to manually create your grid. It takes a lot of effort but works pretty well in the end.

It's probably APN_isBlank() from the old common objects rules. Try this and let me know if it works.

 Edit: the one I originally attached above seems to have had some weird missing security group precedent. Maybe try this one (containing a few common objects rules) instead:
