Hi John, > Check out the thread "Multiple formats in a cell" in this > group around 2009-03-06.
thanks for the link! However, I can't use xlwt (and xlrd) because I have to modify an existing excel sheet containing macros. Therefore I used the "win32com" module in python under Windows. This works pretty fine except for my original problem. Any idea how to do it using win32com? So far I only know how to set properties of an entire cell. cell.Font.ColorIndex = 6 But as I said, I would like to do it for parts of the text of the cell content.
