Is there a shortcut to align code in VBA?

I'm using the Excel VBA editor.

I've been trying for sometime to left align my code, but the Align menu is faded off.

When I select few lines of codes, go to Format -> Align -> lefts/Centers( This is faded off and I cannot select this at all)

Am I doing it the right way ?

Knowing what editor you are using to write this code in would be a big help. My guess is that the Align feature you are trying to use for code is actually supposed to be used for controls on a form designer.

I'm using Excel VBA, to code the macros.
There aren't any shortcuts available too..

Never used that editor, in some other editors, you can press TAB and shift+tab to move entire text selections.

Cheers, That works.
But it is different. For example, if its an If statement, every line is aligned to the left, spoiling the flow/look , but by explicitly pushing some lines to the right and then realigning to the left keeps the format right.
But thanks :)

P.S. Can you add this as a solution so that I can take this question off the unanswered list.
Thanks
