Is there a way to detect the styles (CSS type like font-color, font-
weight, color, text-decoration, etc.) applied to the text (not the
cell itself) in an excel cell?

I was hoping to be able to extract a string with embedded/nested span
elements with styles applied to describe the text in a cell... I know
this is probably a pipe dream but there must be a way to extract this
info... can anyone help?

BTW, I will be using VB.NET to automate excel to perform this
function... suggestions?
