SW BOM Column Text Justification

SW BOM Column Text Justification

SW BOM Column Text Justification

(OP)
Hello all,
I am having trouble with getting the SWBOM template to keep the proper column text justification.  I need the column header "Description" to be centered and all of the the item descriptions to be left justified.  I open the BOM set it how I need it and then save the template.  When I insert a new BOM all the columns come in "centered" again.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

RE: SW BOM Column Text Justification

You are doing nothing wrong. I had that problem with SW09 and now with SW2010-SP0.

I have just submitted an ER (1-1421736212) for this.

This is really strange because it worked with 08 :(

RE: SW BOM Column Text Justification

You might get have better luck getting the feature reinstated by submitting a bug report rather than enhancement requests.  The loss of a feature is a form of regression and is typically considered a bug by software developers.  It is debatable whether SW pays more attention to bug fixes or new features, but it can't hurt to raise the issue along the bug reporting path.

Thanks EEnd, good idea.

OK, for anyone who is having the same issue I have fixed it on my end.  See if the same works for you, hope so.

Check this out, Tools->Options->Document Properties->Tables->Use template settings!

RE: SW BOM Column Text Justification

OK ... good catch BodyBagger.

No disrespect toward you, but WTF? Does anyone know of a logical, valid reason why anyone would not want to use the BOM template settings?
