Importing Word Paragraph to Excel - 1 cell, same formating -- I lose the format
Chris DeNardis
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?
Thanks

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)
sHTML = ts.readall
lTextStart = InStr(1, sHTML, "<p class=")
lTextStart = InStr(lTextStart, sHTML, ">") + 1
lTextEnd = InStr(lTextStart, sHTML, "</p>") - 1
Dim sStartH As String
Dim sEndH As String
'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)
ts.Write sStartH & Mid(sHTML, lTextStart, lTextEnd - lTextStart + 1)
& sEndH
ts.Close
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
End Sub

go to Excel, choose PasteSpecial - Unicode Text
Sub CopyToExcel()
Set dTemp = Documents.Add
dTemp.Range.Paste
dTemp.Close
sHTML = ts.readall
sStartH = "<style>br{mso-data-placement:same-cell;}</style>" & _
"<table><tr><td>"
sEndH = "</td></tr></table>"
ts.Close
Dim oDataObj As DataObject
'Put text into clipboard
Set oDataObj = New DataObject
oDataObj.SetText sStartH & Mid(sHTML, lTextStart, lTextEnd -
lTextStart + 1) & sEndH
oDataObj.PutInClipboard
End Sub
