text bold in excel

Dear DXL users,
I want to copy some text to an excel using a string buffer
I used all the suggested characters : "\b text"
"\\b text"
"\b text \0b"
"\bold text"
richText "{\\b text}"
But the text is copied as it is plain text
So I'm I doing sth wrong?

Thanks And have a nice day

Looking at your other post, where you try to write a comma or tab separated file -> you cannot do it like that. CSV or TSV don't support richtext formatting, if you save an excel file with bold text to csv, your formatting will get lost.

Therefore you need to use COM automation, to format the cells in your excel sheet. This is done by setting the Font.bold property on a range object.
