Default Linked text formatting


The issue I'm having is formatting of linked text. I'm not even sure if
this is possible using excel.

I have 3 worksheets within a workbook. One sheet has a few hundred cell
full of text that I can move around. A second sheet links the data
utilizing the following formula: =INDIRECT("data!b2") to the third
sheet.

The reason I need to do the indirect data link is to maintain cell
references. I need to move the text around but keep the cell references
the same.

What I'd like to do is format the text in the first sheet (bold,
italics, color, etc) and have this formatting appear on the final
sheet. Right now when I format the text, it doesn't appear on the final
sheet.

I'm not sure if this is even possible in excel but I figured if it
were, someone here would probably know.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.
