SpreadLib doesn't have styles for IMPORT yet, but SpreadOut already has them for EXPORT. Text size, bold/italic/etc, pics. At least my dev version does! I need to wrap up this version for public release - I'll try to speed that up and get it posted soon.

(Depending on how close they are to completion, FieldTrip may be first in line for update, because I had several requests for it and haven't forgotten.)

SpreadOut was lucky and got the style features and pics implemented first, and it's pretty cool to save stylin' spreadsheets from Livecode. I'll have to add those features to the import code in another version. Perhaps italic and bold can come sooner than the rest, we'll see.

There's so much that Excel and other spreadsheets can do, really amazing and handy. Using the genuine and original SpreadLib library, it's easy to import to a LiveCode field or array and use the data to empower all sorts of projects.

Best wishes,
