I am trying to find a way to take an annotation in a drawing title block that is linked to
a "Configuration Specific Custom Property" and wrap it in two places. (1) after a comma
and (2) at a specific length.

Example

"Configuration Specific Custom Property"
Property Name = Description
Type = Text
Value/Text Expression = CAP SCREW, #10-32 UNF-2A X 1.25 LONG BUTTONHEAD

"Title in Drawing" (Should appear as follows)
CAP SCREW,
#10-32 UNF-2A X 1.25
LONG BUTTONHEAD


I know I could accomplish this task in a couple of different ways using a carriage
return. However, this would require user intervention (my company is a little on
the lazy side).

Is there a way to accomplish this & still maintain the link between the text & property?
I.e. if the Description property changes I would rather not have to rerun a macro to
update the drawing.
