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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    When is this issue going to be fixed. It is so frustrating. I like the format of the New Outlook but this issue is pushing me back to Old Outlook.

    Please respond with a fix

    I have the same issue. This is beyond frustrating since I like the look of the new outlook and the performance it gave. BUT when I tried to copy from outlook and paste it into MS Word, the formatting is all messed up.

    1. Table format did not preserved when copy from outlook and paste into MS Word.
    2. Bullet point also the same.

    It is BEYOND frustrating the "new" pay for everything that DOES NOT WORK microsoft.

    Trying to keep your formatting and links is just one more BUG you guys have screwed up.

    Thank you for responding.

    I tried creating test templates with colors and copy/paste them, but that function was disabled in the New Outlook.

    I am tempted to go back to the old one to find out if that function, the copying/pasting of colored fonts, still works with the old Outlook.

    I too am having the same issue. When there are links specifically in an email body and that body is copied (standard blue text active link), the blue formatting nor the linked text is copied. The text is just a black font with no blue and the link is not kept.

    Thanks

    Don
