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?

jacob,
i'm not just isolating my style search to those attributes but instead
ANY styles that can be applied to the text (underline, bold, italic,
size, color, etc.). The text could have any number and combination of
styles, so I don't want to 1sey 2sey the text in the cell b/c I'd have
to end up checking each character for all its styles which seems awful
ineficient...

I was thinking I could save the spreadsheet as an XML file then mine
the styles of the text <Worksheet<Table<Row<Cell<Data tags
there... but that seems like overkill... any other ideas or tweaks on
this idea?
