Following function format[expr_] can be used to indent/format unformatted mathematica expressions that spans over a page

indent[str_String, ob_String, cb_String, delim_String] := 
  Module[{ind, indent, f, tab}, ind = 0; tab = "    ";
   indent[i_, tab_, nl_] := nl <> Nest[tab <> ToString[#] &, "", i];
   f[c_] := (indent[ind, "", " "] <> c <> indent[++ind, tab, "\n"]) /;StringMatchQ[ob, ___ ~~ c ~~ ___];
   f[c_] := (indent[--ind, "", " "] <> c <> indent[ind, tab, "\n"]) /;StringMatchQ[cb, ___ ~~ c ~~ ___];
   f[c_] := (c <> indent[ind, tab, "\n"]) /;StringMatchQ[delim, ___ ~~ c ~~ ___];
   f[c_] := c;
   f /@ Characters@str // StringJoin];
format[expr_] := indent[expr // InputForm // ToString, "[({", "])}", ";"];

(*    
format[Hold@Module[{ind, indent, f, tab}, ind = 0; tab = "    ";
 indent[i_, tab_, nl_] := nl <> Nest[tab <> ToString[#] &, "", i];
 f[c_] := (indent[ind, "", " "] <> c <> indent[++ind, tab, "\n"]) /;StringMatchQ[ob, ___ ~~ c ~~ ___];
 f[c_] := (indent[--ind, "", " "] <> c <> indent[ind, tab, "\n"]) /;StringMatchQ[cb, ___ ~~ c ~~ ___];
 f[c_] := (c <> indent[ind, tab, "\n"]) /;StringMatchQ[delim, ___ ~~ c ~~ ___];
 f[c_] := c;
 f /@ Characters@str // StringJoin]]
*)
