I want to place a larger body of text in A1 on Sheet1. With the cells having a 110 character limit. Once reached, I want to continue breaking the body of text into 110 chars and placed in the cell below.
So far I have done this successfully, but I need the words to stay together and not get cut off. I'm sure the code I am using is the worst way to do it. So would like to start from scratch.

I've spent so much time and I finally broke to ask for help.

This is what I am using:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)        Dim r%, c%, x%, iPos%, iOffset%, length%    Dim strOriginal$, strExtract$    Const CHARS_COUNT% = 110        If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub        On Error GoTo MACROS_FAIL        Application.EnableEvents = False        strOriginal = Target.value    length = Len(strOriginal)    r = Target.Row - 1: c = Target.Column    iPos = 1        If length > CHARS_COUNT Then        While iPos <= length            strExtract = Mid$(strOriginal, iPos, CHARS_COUNT)            x = x + 1            If x > 3 Then                x = 0: iOffset = 1            Else                iOffset = 1            End If            r = r + iOffset            Cells(r, c) = strExtract            iPos = iPos + CHARS_COUNT        Wend    End If        Application.EnableEvents = True     Exit Sub MACROS_FAIL:    Application.EnableEvents = True    MsgBox "Error:" & Chr(10) & Err.Description, vbCritical     End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
