How do we keep formatting when pasting into new signature

Anonymous

We are not yet in a directory environment, so use a copy/paste from a Word template or an older sent email to create signatures. When I try to paste a well formatted signature into the signature block (Accounts/Signatures) for New Outlook, there is no way to remember formatting when pasting. Ctrl+V does not keep the font, hyperlinks or graphic. The only easy way I've found to recreate it is to start in the older version of Outlook, create the signature and then switch to the new version. How can we easily do this right in the new version?

    Thanks for sharing as appreciate the efforts but it's still a really poor oversight by microsoft for such a simple yet important feature for businesses. It's such a faff to be resizing and spending hours to do this and it's not feasible for 50+ organisations

    This did not work for me. However, I did find a solution that did work. Its not a permanent solution, but will help in the short term. At the top right hand corner of you new outlook app, there should be a switch called "new outlook" and will be switched on. If you switch it off, you'll be taken to the old outlook where you can update you signature and the formatting will remani. You can then switch back to the new outlook and your signature will stay.

    Hi everyone,

    Just chiming in to say the bug is still happening on Outlook Web. In my case, using Edge 124.0.2478.67 (Official build) (64-bit).

    Was able to circumvent it installing and using the Microsoft Store version of Outlook. Which was a bit of a pain in itself, but at least solved the issue.

    Hope this helps while Microsoft works on the bug.
