On the menu bar under FORMAT there is a option for Horizontal Spacing.
This looks like it could be very useful but whenever I try to use it
the options are grey out. How do I make use of this potentially useful
tool?

Those features are for aligning controls on a userform while you are
working in the form designer. They do not have anything to do with
code.

Hi John,

It is used in formatting the objects in userforms like equal spacing etc.
Need a userform open and select objects on the form to be able to use the
options.

Bummer!

Thanks for correcting my misunderstanding.

But if you what you want is to automatically Indent your VBA code use
Stephen Bullen's Smart Indenter:

I strongly recommend it

I have learned that if a block of rows of code is highlighted and then
either tab or shift-tab is pressed the selected lines will be adjusted
horizontally. This is a big improvement over individually adding or
deleting tabs!

like charles mentioned, download Smart Indenter.
