Note These constants are specified by Visual Basic for Applications. As a result, they may be used anywhere in your code in place of the actual values. Most can be combined, for example, vbUpperCase + vbWide, except when they are mutually exclusive, for example, vbUnicode + vbFromUnicode. The constants vbWide, vbNarrow, vbKatakana, and vbHiragana cause run-time errors when used in locales where they do not apply.

The following are valid word separators for proper casing: Null (Chr$(0)), horizontal tab (Chr$(9)), linefeed (Chr$(10)), vertical tab (Chr$(11)), form feed (Chr$(12)), carriage return (Chr$(13)), space (SBCS) (Chr$(32)). The actual value for a space varies by country for DBCS.
