Hi everyone.

What I've got going on is I am trying to create a table template for a motor drive.
According to the SW docs, the way to create a custom table template is to modify an existing one and then save it as a new template.

So, I created my table from the Revision table template. This was a HUGE mistake. For some reason it trucates any text in the cells to 9 characters.
No problem I though, I can just create a "General" table template.
Oh... wait..... "The software does not provide a template for general tables."

So my question is two fold, 1. Can I convert my already made table into a general table template? 2. How the F do you create a general table template?
