I have one of the Modules in my VBProject named "README". In it is
just helpfile data (i.e. no code at all), which I copy and paste to an
external notepad document when I roll out a new version. It includes
instructions for install, use, changelog and known issues.

To stop VB from trying to read this module content as code, I have to
start each and every line with a '. However that is annoying when I
am typing in new information, always trying to remember to place the '
there.

Instead, is there an option to change the module to non-code, or a
command I can put at the start that says "Ignore everything after
this"?
