is there a way to enable word wrap in the module window (where you type in code and stuff)? it's driving me nuts to have code going off the edge of the screen and out of sight.

or, is there some trick that would allow me to split a long line of such code into two lines?

thanks

If you stick an underscore ( _ ) at the end of the line, it'll allow you to continue onto the next one:

(Toggle Plain Text)

MsgBox "This is a message box.", _
    "Message Box Title", vbOK, vbInformation
