Possible to save Excel as CSV with HTML codes?

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using Microsoft Office 2003. Some of my cells have formatting --
e.g. some words are bolded. Is it possible to save out my file as a
CSV, but containing HTML codes for the formatted words? So for
example, a cell saved to CSV might look like

My <b>cell</b>

because the word "cell" was bolded in my file?

Thanks for any suggestions, - Dave

Not if you just save it as a CSV file. This type of file is plain old text.

On the other hand, you could create a macro that would do anything you wanted.

You could start with code at these sites:

If you really want to create an HTML file see

what would you do with a CSV file with HTML coding within cells.
