Actually, by retains I meant "get it from". As Andy clarified in another post, formatting is stored per workbook, and formats are applied to cells or columns by associating the "global" index of the format record with the element that is being formatted. Thus ColumnInfoRecords have a format associated with them which has an index. IMO, this is the index that, if available, should be used for the cell record by default instead of associating the default(?) format record for the cell everytime. > If so, that's great!

That would enable you to get the patched source as early as tommorrow morning.
