Consistant width for bom column in drawing

Consistant width for bom column in drawing

(OP)
Greetings to all, I have a bom that has been modified in Excel to match colums widths in conjunction to our drawing t-block.  When the bom is inserted in the dwg, the coulums all "autosize".  Is there a system variable or option that needs to adjusted in SW or Excel.
SW -2001+ sp4.0
Excel -2000 (9.0.3821 sr-1)

Thanks,
Jay

I have the same problem. I wrote a macro within the template bom.xls to size the columns the way we need them. After you insert the bom just run the macro.

Thanks for the tip about macros.  That was easy and worked for me.  (and now if I could get rid of those macro warnings.)

Thanks to all for the help.  It appears that a macro is the way to go.  I'll give it a try.

Thanks again

Jay
