Default Formatting text in a textbox to show separate lines

What type of textbox - from the drawing toolbar (on a worksheet) or from the
control toolbox toolbar (on a worksheet or on a userform)?

Hello --

I want to populate a textbox so user can copy any or all of its

information
to another field.

Contents of the text box are built up by parsing a text string and

repeating
in a loop:

strComment = strComment & _
vbCrLf & _
Trim(strTempText)

where strTempText is the parsed/loop value

The desired result looks like separate lines:

Start time: 1059167091
End time: 1059167104
Proto: TCP
Source IP: 216.218.241.95
Source name: abc.com
src port: 20
Dest IP: 102.999.50.12
Dest name: eleuthera
Dest port: 1060
Connection number: 1
Total packets: 641
Total payload: 931760

I am able to get this format when I display a message box containing the
final value of strComment.

However, when I put the final value of strComment in a textbox, it appears
as one long string.

Can someone help me build strComment so that it appears in a textbox

looking
like separate lines?

Thanks for any help.
