Is there a way to take HTML and import it to excel so that it is formatted as rich text (preferably by using VBA)? Basically, when I paste to an Excel cell, I'm looking to turn this:
<html><p>This is a test. Will this text be <b>bold</b> or <i>italic</i></p></html>
into this:
This is a test. Will this text be bold or italic

1. Select the cells you will convert all html to texts, and press the Ctrl + F keys to open the Find and Replace dialog box. 2. In the Find and Replace dialog box, go to the Replace tab, enter <*> into the Find what box, keep the Replace with box empty, and click the Replace All button.
Unfortunately the answer is no. Excel has two HTML options: Open a HTML file, which will sort of render the HTML, sort of, but won't contain any actual HTML in cells. Store HTML in cells, but as unformatted text.
Yes it is possible. In fact let Internet Explorer do the dirty work for you.

CODE
Sub Sample()
Dim Ie As Object
Set Ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With Ie
.Visible = False
.Navigate "about:blank"
.document.body.InnerHTML = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
.document.body.createtextrange.execCommand "Copy"
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
.Quit
End With
End Sub

You can copy the HTML code to the clipboard and paste special it back as Unicode text. Excel will render the HTML in the cell. Check out this post http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2005/02/23/html-in-cells-ii/
The relevant macro code from the post:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim objData As DataObject
Dim sHTML As String
Dim sSelAdd As String
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If LCase(Left(Target.Text, 6)) = "<html>" Then
Set objData = New DataObject
sHTML = Target.Text
objData.SetText sHTML
objData.PutInClipboard
sSelAdd = Selection.Address
Target.Select
Me.PasteSpecial "Unicode Text"
Me.Range(sSelAdd).Select
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
