Hemant, I was hoping someone would come up with an answer for you!
I have an application that stores the entire workbook as data in Oracle tables. the actual "document" is retrieved and re-assembled. If changes are made, the Oracle database is updated. Now, users sometimes want to make cells bold or change the color or font and I wanted to be able to store the formatting in the database. I ended up creating an array and stored the characteristics. then, I created a delimeted string like: textstring|justification|bold|fontcnt|font1|length1|font2|length2| then stored the string. when I retrieved the record, I used split() to re-create the format array. It would be nice to be able to save the range object as an array, but I haven't found a way to do that. Sorry.
