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.

Well, i am happy that it worked for you, but it didn't when I copied mt template into a new email.
The New Outlook mail does not have the Paste/Keep Formatting option unlike the old Outlook mail.
So far the "ctrl" option is working for me but it is a pain having to do it every time.
Go ahead and hit paste, and then at the bottom of all that you pasted (in the wrong format) there is a little clipboard that you hover over
Yep, that's it. Ridiculous that the previous options aren't immediately available in the ribbon, yet another example of change not being an improvement.
Can confirm that this works. I hate it, but this works. You have to click in the tiny box at the end of your pasted text and select the left-most clipboard button. If you misclick, you have to Ctrl+Z and then Ctrl+V again to retry.
