Centering MsgBox text
 
Is there a way to center the prompt text in a MsgBox?

No, not really. You could use the Space$ function to pad the beginning of
the string with spaces, but that would require some trial and error to find
the correct length. Plus, if a user has a different standard font than you,
it may not appear as expected on his/her machine.

The best way would be to create your own UserForm that looks/acts like a
MsgBox. You could drop a label control on it and center the text that way.
