To apply rich formatting to the cell text, do one of the following:

Pass the RichTextString instance to the SetRichText method to assign the specified rich text to a cell. The resulting text string is also set to the cell’s CellRange.Value as plain text.

// Create a RichTextString instance.
RichTextString richText = new RichTextString();

// Add three text runs. Each run has its own font settings.
richText.AddTextRun("Rich ", new RichTextRunFont("Arial", 14, System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0xc5, 0x9f, 0xc9)));
richText.AddTextRun("text ", new RichTextRunFont("Tahoma", 14, System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0x2c, 0x60, 0x8e)));
richText.AddTextRun("formatting", new RichTextRunFont("Castellar", 14, System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0x2f, 0x24, 0x4f)));

// Assign the rich formatted text to the cell B2.
worksheet["B2"].SetRichText(richText);
