Newlines in a line-wrapping Textbox

[Bill P]

Hi everyone,

Please let me know if this question has been answered already. I
searched the forum, but may not have been searching for the right
thing.

I have a UserForm that displays a large TextBox in which the user will
enter some text (usually a paragraph or so). The TextBox lines wrap
correctly and everything, but I was wondering if there was a way to
insert newline characters where the TextBox wraps lines. The user will
format the text to their liking, but when I get the text via <Name of
TextBox>.Text, it's just one long String. The user could enter hard
returns when they reach the end of the TextBox, but most users will
tend to keep in typing and let the line wrap automatically.

One solution would be to write a function that inserts a newline every
80 characters or so between words, but I'd like to preserve the user's
choice of formatting. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

- Bill

Bill, I think if you use a RichTextBox instead of a 'normal' one, the job is
done.
