Print and Display Constants

Microsoft Visual Basic defines constants like vbCrLf that contain special characters that cannot be embedded in BASIC literals. It is a pity OpenOffice does not provide them too. --Yecril71pl 10:51, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

For most purposes, you should use the chr(13) function to force a new line, such as in MsgBox messages. --TJ (Talk | Contribs) 23:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
