    Hello Tom,

    As per new Outlook Tips:-

    New paste default

    Pasting now merges formatting with the

    content in your email. To change this, click

    the paste icon and then Paste as is.

    I have tried it and worked for me

    Is MS going to answer? While many of us appreciate the attempts from users, MS needs to investigage. This paste option has worked for years. It is not ALL paste attempts, just some. for me, with excel. The keep formatting has been mentioned many times, but this is not a solution for all. Additionally, keep formatting has been around for a LONG time.

    Is MS going to support this app or not?

    When I started this chain of posts, that was my question.

    Most of the responses to my initial question about the formatting not being posted into a new email draft were not answered until (I forgot her name) posted a simple solution to that issue.

    When you Copy then Paste what you want, of example, in a new email draft, the formatted information does not show. However, if you click on the Paste symbol, the information will be pasted into your document while retaining the formatting:

    the colors from the original information changes to that in the draft.

    I noticed this morning that the Tips section in New Outlook had a Tip about the change in the Paste feature. See below:
