Not via formulas (linked cells).

You'd have to use some kind of macro that retreives the formatting from that
other workbook.

Another option might be to use format|conditional formatting. Maybe that'll be
enough.

Hi,
In my program I generate an excel workbook with cells
linked to a "master" workbook using a simple formula
indicating the file name and cell. When I write something
in the master workbook, it works perfectly writing the
same contents to the linked workbook. However, if I
decide to make the text in the cell of the master workbook
bold, for example, this is not reflected in the linked
workbook. Is there anyway to link a cell, so that format
changes as well as value changes are reflected? Thanks a
lot in advance.

Joe.
