Open Office can read Excel files and successfully export them to .html
preserving ALL formatting!
As Open Office is open source code . . . .
https://www.openoffice.org/
I have just imported a styled .html file exported from an Open Office
Spreadsheet into a textField in LiveCode 7.1.4
Richmond.

In the Excel Lib, the command XCEL_Range_FontStyle_Get is returning
the style of the whole cell or range. We have no function to read the
style of each char, at this moment.
However, both VBA and AppleScript are offering this possibility, so
this is a function we can add. A possible solution would consist to
explore the style of each chars in a cell, then return the result in
html to have it directly usable in LiveCode. I'm not sure of the
performances of this approach, though. It will depend on how many
cells the sheet have and how many text each cells are containing.

I'm aware that there are a couple of libraries floating around for reading
Excel documents - do any of them allow the formatting of runs of text within
cells to be read? I want to import some data where some of the text in a cell
may contain some parts which are in italics or bold. Are there existing
libraries that support this use?
Many thanks,
Ben
