FileDependancy object in AutoCAD

I will give Steve Dunn's free Code Formatter Plugin for Windows Live Writer a try here. This is really a great plugin. One problem I run into is that I'm not able to use the word wrapping. It looked OK in the Normal Layout but in the Web Layout it was not nice. The width was just a hand full characters and could not be resized. Another thing is if editing the code use CTRL+Enter to add a row since Enter will trigger the OK button.

Below is a modified VBA subroutine from AutoCAD developer documentation on the FileDependency object that can be used to see information about file references in a drawing. For example FullFileName will give the absolute path of a relative xref and IsModified will show if the file has been modified.

Sub Example_AcadFileDependencies()
    ' Note!
    ' The drawing has to be saved first to reflect
    '  recent changes to the file dependencies
    ' If you attach an xref and then run this code
    ' without saving the added xref will not show up
    ' If a modified xref has been reloaded and you
    ' run this code without saving it will show as modified
    ' Another way is to use UpdateEntry before as showed

    Dim objFDLCol As AutoCAD.AcadFileDependencies
    Dim objFDL As AutoCAD.AcadFileDependency
    
    Set objFDLCol = ThisDrawing.FileDependencies

    Dim strTemp As String
    For Each objFDL In objFDLCol
        If objFDL.Feature = "Acad:XRef" Then
            objFDLCol.UpdateEntry objFDL.Index
            strTemp = "FileName: " & vbTab & objFDL.FileName
            strTemp = strTemp & vbCrLf & "FileSize: " & vbTab & _
                vbTab & objFDL.FileSize
            strTemp = strTemp & vbCrLf & "FullFileName: " & _
                vbTab & objFDL.FullFileName
            strTemp = strTemp & vbCrLf & "Modified?: " & _
                vbTab & objFDL.IsModified
            MsgBox strTemp
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Update for Steve. Here is an image showing the problem in the Web Layout. The problem also showed up when published. In the normal view it's possible to adjust the width but it's a narrow column when published as well as in the web preview.

2006-08-26 Update again. I found out that "pre" had a fixed width in the blog template that gave this problem. pre{color:maroon;background:#e4e4e4; padding:5px; width:100px; font-size:85%;} When I removed the fixed width the problem disappeared.
