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.

    There is a 'solution' of sorts which would be near on IMPOSSIBLE to work out without this thread, however the solution only works as long as I don't make any changes to the text or hit the backspace key. As soon as I do that all the formatting disappears again. (Using Outlook for web). It's super frustrating having to reformat every time!

    @microsoft - you broke it, you fix it. sort it out!

    Thank you Frajman Tomas for posting about the same issue I am experiencing with the Copy/Paste function in the New Outlook which was what I wrote about when I started the chain of posts. It is different than what the other MS Outlook users having been describing.

    I have a template saved in my Drafts section which, in the Classic Outlook, I could paste an exact copy into a new email. As you noticed, Microsoft took that function away.

    I used Outlook's Feedback to alert Microsoft of the Copy/Paste issue hoping to get a response. Apparently, they do not read these posts.

    When I did that, I received an automated response which was disappointing.
