Default formatting text

Hello all!

I am writing a function to format text to be displayed in a MsgBox.
So far it works, however, it will cut off the last word in the last line if
the text is over 45 characters - and error out if there are no spaces in the
last line. - ie the text is 50 characters long and the 'remainder' is the
word "end.")

(Thanks to Tom O. for the base of this code)

what am i missing?

<BEGIN VBA CODE
Public Function formatString(str As String)

If Len(str) <= 45 Then
formatString = str
Else
Dim temp As String
formatString = ""
For j = 0 To CInt(Application.WorksheetFunction.RoundDown(Len(s tr) /
45, 0))
temp = Left(str, 45)
i = 45
Do While Mid(temp, i, 1) < " " And i 1
i = i - 1
Loop
formatString = formatString + Mid(temp, 1, i) + Chr(13)
str = Mid(str, i + 1)
Next j
End If

End Function
<END VBA CODE
