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.

    Try this

    I copy my email, and when I go to paste, I hold control and click the paste button on the top row. It pastes with formatting and I can change the needed items in the email without losing the formatting.

    It is stunning to me how Microsoft steps backwards with functionality that has been around for ages in Outlook and is supported in Word. Why waste so many people's time researching how to do simple 'paste special' for the new Outlook. I've read threads where Microsoft staff seem surprised. Come on. Someone made a conscious decision in the feature roadmap for the new Outlook to not include features like paste special (and also mess up print to pdf or save as pdf when using dark mode).

    It looks like i have to go back to the old outlook. I am also removing most of my email accounts from outlook and going back to the browser approach.

    Very disappointed.
