Hey Jon,

Found it, edit style.css and change the following:

.vbasmall
{ color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
font-size: 100%
white-space: pre;
}

I added white-space:pre; and it allowed copy/paste on multiple lines.

HTH,
Erik

Jasa -

Thanks for the notice. I think I’ve fixed the code layout problems.

If there are any more problems with code layout in other posts, I hope my readers will leave a simple message like this one.

dear Jon,

all the code in this and related posts seem to be in one line, so it can not be copy/pasted; I’ve tried with 3 different browsers at home and at work ;(

In my experience, building the basic routine that does the actual work takes no more than 5 % of the total project time needed to create an add-in that behaves itself.
The remainder is:
- User interface design
- UI programming
- Catching and adapting to all situations a user’s file might be in
- International issues
- Excel versions
- Add-in setup
- Error handling
