    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

    I tried all of these solutions and none of them work for me. Beyond frustrating. Seriously Microsoft, richest company in the word can't get one of the most used features in the world to work. Insane.

    The little CTRL button works when you go to paste something in an email message. However, it does not work for an email signature. When trying to update email signatures for an entire company, this is going to be a pain.

    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.
