Macro to Convert Excel Cell to HTML and preserve font formatting.

Is there a macro freely available that can convert a cell in excel to HTML and retain it's font formatting?  I only care about bolds, underlines, colors, and line breaks.  I don't want to export the whole excel document to HTML just specific cells.  I have a program that takes an excel document as it's input but only formats based on HTML and all excel formatting of text is lost.  If I can convert it with a macro I can retain the formatting.


I.E.
Excel Cell:
"
bolded text and underlined text

regular text
"

HTML:
"
<b>bolded text</b> and <i>underlined text</i>r<br>
regular text
"

I could write a macro myself that will search each character for the .FONT format and but figured that something was already written and save some time and effort.

See first sentence:
"The macros below convert an Excel range to a HTML Table. Most formating, including merged cells, bold, italic and many colors are preserved"

good luck

Thanks Psychotec for the comment but I found that script already.  That script will export the cell with formatting only if the WHOLE cell has the formatting applied.  If you only bold a particular word the code does not work.
