You cannot format individual words in a cell, just the entire contents of the
cell can be formatted. However, if you want to maintain the original
formatting you can insert the Word documnet text as and Object in the
workbook.

I put up this post a few days ago, but still have not been able to solve the
problem. I am copying/pasting various parts of a large microsoft document to
specific cells of an excel spreadsheet (i'm using an apple laptop). whenever
i move the text over from the document to excel, words that i have in bold or
italicized get automatically returned back to normal once they're in the
cell. is there a way i can correct this? i'd like the text to remain exactly
the way it is on the document. a previous reply suggested i try using a
notepad, but i don't have that option on my computer. thanks!
