VBA "Compile Error Expected: end of statement"

Hello Team VBA,

Could someone help me please with a problem inserting multi-line text from the VBE into a comment object on a worksheet.

Excel 2003
Windows XP


Please proceed to the text statement below for description of the problem.

With Sheets("Sheet27").Range("A10").AddComment .Text "This is text that should be inserted into a comment. _  Trouble is the vba editor wont accept these "space underscores" _ which i use normally to break up my code for easier reading. What _ is going wrong? I can see its got something to do with the quote marks _ but i need the quote marks for the comment text to work. It doesnt like _ putting text in quotes on each line and using an ampesand (&) to string together."
End With

I get a compile error and the text turns red.

What am i doing wrong and where could i have found the solution for myself without going to the microsoft forum

Many thanks team VBA.
Regards
Peter

You can do this with a line feed:

With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").AddComment
    .Text "This is text that should be inserted into a comment." & vbLf & "This is a new line."
End With
