Tab Options
Code Settings

Auto List Member — Displays a list that contains information that would logically complete the statement at the current insertion point.
Auto Quick Info — Displays information about functions and their parameters as you type.
Auto Data Tips — Displays the value of the variable over which your cursor is placed. Available only in Break mode.
Auto Indent — Allows you to tab the first line of code; all subsequent lines will start at that tab location.
Tab Width — Sets the tab width, which can range from 1 to 32 spaces; the default is 4 spaces.
Window Settings
Drag-and-Drop Text Editing — Allows you to drag and drop elements within the current code and from the Code window into the Immediate or Watch windows.
Default to Full Module View — Sets the default state for new modules to allow you to look at procedures in the Code window either as a single scrollable list or only at one procedure at a time. It does not change the way currently open modules are viewed.
Procedure Separator — Allows you to display or hide separator bars that appear at the end of each procedure in the Code window.
