Step Into

Executes one statement at a time. Step Into executes the statement at the current execution point. If the statement is a call to a procedure, the next statement displayed is the first statement in the procedure.

If there is no current execution point, the Step Into command may appear to do nothing until you do something that triggers code, for example, click on a document or something on the document.

Toolbar button:

Step Over

Similar to Step Into. The difference in use occurs when the current statement contains a call to a procedure.

Step Over executes the procedure as a unit, and then steps to the next statement in the current procedure. Therefore, the next statement displayed is the next statement in the current procedure regardless of whether the current statement is a call to another procedure.

Toolbar button: Keyboard shortcut: SHIFT+F8

Step Out

Executes the remaining lines of a procedure in which the current execution point lies. The next statement displayed is the statement following the procedure call. All of the code is executed between the current and the final execution points.
