thread formatting???

[majikman]

is there a way to format my posts so that when i post it, it looks lik
the excel VBE? it makes it so hard to read the posts without th
indentions. adding the coloring would be a nice feature too but i thin
that might be pretty hard to implement. most importantly, being able t
indent would make things a lot easier to rea

Don't know about ExcelForum, but if you graduate to reading the
newsgroups directly, rather than through a web interface, you can find a
newsreader that converts tabs into spaces (don't know if Outlook Express
does this, since I've never used it). I'd suggest taking a look at

Color would require posting in HTML, which is not a friendly thing to do
in the newsgroups, since many of us read news in plain text. My filters
usually kill HTML posts.

Most of use are connecting directly to the Microsoft newsservers
and not working from web pages.

To have color would mean HTML postings and that would make
posting more difficult to read. Some people would not be able
to read it all, at least not very well. Please continue to post in plain
text, not HTML or MIME postings. You have to do your
own new lines and your own indentation for best results. It
works out better for everyone. We setup our newsreader so
that we can view text at a comfortable font and font size to
suit our own viewing.

I do my own indentations in VBE so don't know where you
are getting automatic indentations there. And I would sure
hate for something else to be indenting my code differently
than what I use or can change to fit the situation.
