Get selection formatting

Here is a nice and handy script to get all the main format for a range selection, that can be applied afterwards to same range (as template):
Public Sub sFormatGet()
    Call fFormatGet(Selection)
End Sub

Public Function fRangeR1C1(ByVal oXlRng As Excel.Range, _
                           Optional ByVal oXlRef As Excel.Range = Nothing) As String
    Dim lgC As Long
    Dim lgR As Long
    Dim strRngR1C1 As String

    If oXlRef Is Nothing Then
        Set oXlRef = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1)
    End If

    lgR = oXlRng.Row
    lgC = oXlRng.Column

    fRangeR1C1 = strRngR1C1
End Function

Public Function fFormatGet(ByRef oXlRng As Excel.Range, _
                           Optional ByVal ReferenceStyle As XlReferenceStyle = xlA1) As Boolean
    If oXlRng Is Nothing Then
        Set oXlRng = Selection.Cells
    End If

    Dim oXlCell As Excel.Range

    Dim bFormat As Boolean
    Dim bRange As Boolean

    Close

    Open VBA.Environ$("UserProfile") & "\Documents\" & "#Format.bas" For Output As #iFileOut
