Hi,

Is there a way to get and set the content of a cell such that you also
get the formatting characters used? For example, if I have the string
"Test this out" and I manually set "this" to bold (using ctrl-b with
"this" selected) is there a property that would return something like
"Test <bthis</b out" ?

If so, is there a way to set that back? I'm aware of the Characters
property but I'm hoping I don't have to resort to that.

Thanks!

I think that Characters is your only way.
