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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    I love that this works for you but for me I only get 90% of the way there. Most of the formatting is there after the paste but the font is different, the font size is different, some font colors are different, column spacing is different. None of this happens with the copy/paste in the old Outlook.

    Wish the solution was complete but IT IS NOT.

    This needs to be fixed ASAP. Copy/paste has worked for YEARS! Even when there was no subscription and a perpetual license in every previous version of Office...now we are paying annually for bad updates/products. This has ALWAYS worked. The workarounds are not work-arounds, they have always been there...just never needed.

    Additionally, pasting into word, for example has same bad formatting (ie not what was copied).

    copy / paste needs to work.

    Still does not do what I can do on old Outlook where pasting is concerned. Copying from Excel, for example, format still changes when pasted into new Outlook, even with this little "CTRL" option selection.

    Come on Microsoft. This is your own suite of products! PLS FIX THIS ISSUE!!!!
