Default Importing Word Paragraph to Excel - 1 cell, same formating -- I lose the format

I doubt it. bolding and underlining just part of a cell contents is not one of
Excel's strong points.

I am trying to copy a formated paragraph in word, with SHIFT Enter. This
text also has BOLD, and underline text in it.

I want to copy this to a single cell -- retaining the same format (i.e. bold
and underline) as well as change the SHIFT ENTER characters to ALT ENTER.

If I do a Copy from Word, after selecting the paragraph, and paste it into
Excel -- all the SHIFT Enter goes to new lines in Excel.

I have tried to first copy this over to Word, change all the SHIFT Enter's
to ALT Enter, and then paste to Excel -- but I either lose the format, or I
get back the multiple lines.

Reading some posts suggested that I convert all the SHFT enter's to $$$, and
then in Excel Replace the $$$ with ALT ENTER. Problem is, I lose the
formating, or everthing goes to plain text.

Is there a way to copy a paragraph to Excel -- retaining the same format?

Thanks
