We tried this but somehow we are only getting Unformatted text. Please tell
us what should be the container to display the retrieved data.

I think your confusion comes from whatever your mental definition of
"retrieve" is. The FormattedText property returns a Range object containing
formatted text. You can assign that to another Range object, in the same
document or a different document. You cannot assign it to a String variable
without losing the formatting, because a String has no way to store
formatting.

I suggest looking at the examples in the VBA help topic about "FormattedText
Property" to see how it's used. If you still can't get it to work, post back
and (a) explain exactly what you want to accomplish and (b) show the code
you're trying to use.
