Okay, so mine has suddenly started to work, not sure what changed. I was just working on my weekly report and tried to paste on Outlook from Excel as usual and colors red and silver are now retained when I paste. This has not been the case for the last one month thereabout.
I am having the same problem here. It started after an update that our IT group did last week. But, I am using this for the first time today, and I noticed it is not working. Standard RED, Standard YELLOW, and Standard BLACK do not copy from Excel onto Outlook.
From your comments, I like the "temporary work arounds", but we need a real fix.
I am really surprised that Microsoft has not responded with any solution, yet.
Shall we start making some noise on Social Media???
Yes, but that is not a fix.
Some people paste into Outlook and others edit that data by copy/pasting into other files and manipulating the data themselves. Can't do that with a picture.
You can paste as a picture and it will retain colors.
The only current solution is to change it to a color that is similar to red and yellow. Otherwise, it does not copy over.
