Related API Members

The following members return RichTextRange objects:

• RichTextString.Characters()
• RichTextString.Characters(Int32, Int32)
• RichTextString.Characters(Int32)

Remarks

A RichTextRange object is returned by the RichTextString.Characters method that allows you to format specific characters within the cell text. Use the object’s RichTextRange.Font property or RichTextRange.SetFont method to change font characteristics for the specified portion of the cell text. To assign the rich formatted text to a cell, call the Range.SetRichText method.

C#

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

// Specify the cell text.
richText.Text = "Rich text formatting";
// Change font characteristics of the first word.
richText.Characters(0, 4).SetFont(new RichTextRunFont("Calibri", 12, System.Drawing.Color.Red));

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

VB.NET

' Create a RichTextString instance.
Dim richText As New RichTextString()

' Specify the cell text.
richText.Text = "Rich text formatting"
' Change font characteristics of the first word.
richText.Characters(0, 4).SetFont(New RichTextRunFont("Calibri", 12, System.Drawing.Color.Red))

' Assign the rich formatted text to the cell B2.
worksheet("B2").SetRichText(richText)
