I am trying to copy a formated paragraph in word, with SHIFT Enter. This text also has BOLD, and underline text in it.
I want to copy this to a single cell -- retaining the same format (i.e. bold and underline) as well as change the SHIFT ENTER characters to ALT ENTER.
If I do a Copy from Word, after selecting the paragraph, and paste it into Excel -- all the SHIFT Enter goes to new lines in Excel.
I have tried to first copy this over to Word, change all the SHIFT Enter's to ALT Enter, and then paste to Excel -- but I either lose the format, or I get back the multiple lines.
Reading some posts suggested that I convert all the SHFT enter's to $$$, and then in Excel Replace the $$$ with ALT ENTER. Problem is, I lose the formating, or everthing goes to plain text.
Is there a way to copy a paragraph to Excel -- retaining the same format?

Agreed you may not be able to hold the format during the paste but you can restore it with code like this: Sub Macro1() Range("C4").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "AAAAAAAAAA"
With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=4, Length:=4).Font .Name = "Arial" .FontStyle = "Bold" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = 5 End With End Sub
This turns position 4 to 8 bold and blue

Here's the best I could do with it. Note that the macro has to pause at the end for you to paste in Excel, then come back and clear a message box. I couldn't get it to work otherwise. I don't really expect this to be a workable solution, I just wanted to see if I could do it.
Sub CopyToExcel()
Dim dTemp As Document Dim sPath As String
'Copy selection to new document and save as html sPath = Environ("temp") & "\Dtemp.html" Selection.Copy
Set dTemp = Documents.Add
dTemp.Range.Paste
On Error Resume Next Kill sPath & "Dtemp.html" On Error GoTo 0
dTemp.SaveAs sPath & "Dtemp.html", wdFormatHTML
dTemp.Close
Dim lTextStart As Long, lAnchEnd As Long Dim lTextEnd As Long Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject Dim ts As Scripting.TextStream Dim sHTML As String
'Read in the html Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject Set ts = fso.getfile(sPath & "Dtemp.html").openastextstream(1, -2)
'Create a stripped down html sStartH = "<html><style>br{mso-data-placement:same-cell;}</style>" & _ "<body><table><tr><td>" sEndH = "</td></tr></table></body></html>"
ts.Close
Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(sPath & "Dtemp.html", True, False)
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWb As Excel.Workbook
'Open the new html in Excel and copy the used range On Error Resume Next Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application") On Error GoTo 0
If Not xlApp Is Nothing Then Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(sPath & "Dtemp.html") xlWb.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Copy xlWb.Windows(1).Visible = False MsgBox "Paste In Excel, then click OK" xlWb.Close False Set xlApp = Nothing End If
