Partly related to #3583 but also a bug in how formatting is currently read.
In an Excel worksheet (testing in Office 2007 and 2016), if text is typed into one cell with different formatting, eg:
Text can be bold or italic
(where the word Bold is actually bolded and the word italic is in italics)
When the focus moves to that cell, NVDA reads "No bold, no italic" before the contents (bold and italic in this case because those are the two properties that part of the text has).
If the first word was bold, NVDA would read "Bold, no italics".
Related: Aside from the round about way of knowing from that announcement that there is bold and italic in this cell, there is no way of finding out which text is formatted differently. I don't mind so much not having it directly read out as you navigate around the spreadsheet, but I would argue it should be identified as you move through and edit the text in that cell in edit mode (eg with the arrow keys after pressing F2).
NVDA reads the information about the first character, so if the whole cell is bold or underlined etc, that reads fine when navigating the workbook.
