Without a description of what the difference in the appearance, it may be difficult to get people motivated to help. After all, someone could try your code and not see any differences at all because perhaps the workbook they're using happens to not trigger the problem. Is it a problem in font? column size? color? what? Looking at nearly identical things trying to find the difference (assuming there *is* one) is error prone.

Having said that, is the visual property one of the ones you're actually trying to capture and edit? if so, I'd suspect the vertical or horizontal alignment, since you're not actually using the value you read from the source workbook...
