Formatting does not follow when copying from one cell to another

I have a cell on sheet 1 that I have added text to with some bolding,
coloring of text, etc. On Sheet 2 I have a cell that I have told to copy
whatever is in the cell on sheet 1 described above. Why doesn't the
formatting copy over too??
 
"told to copy" means you have used a linking formula such as =Sheet1!A1

Linking formulas do not bring over formatting............values only.

Thanks for the response. I know the Manual function of Copy/Paste will work
but I am trying to automate the spreadsheet so there is less manual work with
repeating information. I appreciate your time.
 
I think you will have to go with VBA for your automation if you need the
formatting copied over along with the data.
