I think the usefulness of constant depends on how you intend to use it. Assuming we assign the value as 8, then these two lines yield significantly different results.

Selection.InsertBreak Type:=8


Selection.TypeText 8

I assumed that VBorNotVB was looking to include the break as a character so it could be included in strings inserted into ranges or selections.
