I am trying to copy and paste from one email to another and outlook will not keep the format. This is the new outlook app so there is no File tab like suggested in every other answer.

    Most of the time, formatting is pasted as it appears from excel. I am not using the "Try the new Outlook" option.

    I have used shortcut keystrokes for MANY years without issue. under several levels of settings, there appears to be more options, but seems that "keep source formatting" should be what it says. Most of the time it works...but not always.

    This has worked for dozens of years. why break it MS?

    I copy my email, and when I go to paste, I hold control and click the paste button on the top row. It pastes with formatting and I can change the needed items in the email without losing the formatting.
