I'm trying to create BOM template for our company. We would like to have a part description in two different languages in one BOM cell (german over english or something similar). I have created custom property file for properties creation with two different properties for part description. Now I would like to create BOM template.

I've tried everything. thread559-101590 has helped me a lot but I can't copy carriage return symbol. I think that it has to do with older SW versions, because that thread is quite old. I can get two properties in one cell in same line with equation writen like this:
=`German description property`{}`English description property`

Can someone help me with dividing this two into separate lines. And maybe one more question. I create new BOM template and I lock row heights and column widths and then I save this as new BOM template. When I insert this BOM template next time, column widths are not locked. Can someone tell me why?

JerinG,

I have the same problem, I have to make a BOM with two languages. I follow your tips and works in a single cell

Did you make your BOM like the one in attachment? I would like to make a BOM, that each item row was divided in two, in some cells, and in them the names were written in each respective language. I would like also, that the abbreviations ENG / GER appear as in the example.

HugoCarmo: You can't have a line between two properties that are in two lines in same cell. I've tried this in many ways, but it doesn't work. Or if maybe someone will find out how to do it.
