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.

Microsoft makes more money in an hour than the GDP of Slovakia, but apparently they only hire programmers directly from the primate house at the Seattle Zoo.
Yeah and after I did change them all to "Keep source formatting", it did not keep :(
In Outlook, click Paste on the toolbar, then go to the "Cut, copy, paste" section and change the respective dropdowns to "Keep source formatting".
I had sent an example in one of my posts. I have a daily email I create. Someone had posted a solution which I use.If you copy the text and open a new email, then choose the middle symbol below, your copied text, etc., will paste with the formatting intact in the new email. I haven't tried it in MS Word, but it also may work in that program.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply; truly appreciate it!
I'm not finding the "^ below the top right paste icon" that you mentioned.
Are you able to send a screenshot or describe in more detail where to find that? For example, is it in the new email you're composing or is it in the email you're looking to copy from?
Thanks again for your help.
