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.

I tried this and it worked like a charm. I have a number of templates I store as Word documents fro my ACT Database, this option works. Thanks so much.

Why is this issue not being fixed. What an oversight in development and backword movement for your APP.
omg I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!!!
When you copy and then paste, at the bottom of the pasted material there is a very tiny box. Hover over that and choose the left (1st of 3) icon. It's a clipboard icon and it says (Ctrl).
My coworker showed me this and IT WORKED!!
Thank you for sharing this!
The difference is whether using Outlook on the web, Outlook on the PC, or a mobile app. My Outlook on the web does not handle formats.
I have the same issue.
When I copy/paste using keystrokes I loose all formatting.
When I right-click the mouse I only have "paste" and "paste with plain text" options.
There's no search available for 'copy/paste' or 'copy' or 'paste' in settings/options
There's no info online or even on the MS site for copy/paste with formatting for new outlook.
