Hi,

I have a long texts in a specific column "B",

For each row, I need to split the text in multiple line (inside the same row: ALT + ENTER) after a fixed number of characters.

it's like when I wrap text

I need to use VBA si I found the code below in the web but it's not working

Help me please.

Code:
[/FONT][/COLOR]Sub[FONT=inherit] Sample()[/FONT] [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Dim[/FONT][/COLOR] doc [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]As[/FONT][/COLOR] Document
 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Set[/FONT][/COLOR] doc = ActiveDocument
 
 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]For[/FONT][/COLOR] i = doc.Range.Characters.[COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Count[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]To[/FONT][/COLOR] 1 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Step[/FONT][/COLOR] -1
 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]If[/FONT][/COLOR] i [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Mod[/FONT][/COLOR] 80 = 0 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Then[/FONT][/COLOR]
 doc.Range.Characters(i) = doc.Range.Characters(i) & vbNewLine
 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]End[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]If[/FONT][/COLOR]
 [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Next[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]End[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]Sub
[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]
[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=inherit]



 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Activesheet.range("B:B").select

With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlGeneral
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.WrapText = True
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.IndentLevel = 0
.ShrinkToFit = False
.ReadingOrder = xlContext
.MergeCells = False
End With
