How do I Copy and Paste an Email in New Outlook?

To copy and paste an email (or parts of an email) in the new Outlook, you can primarily use keyboard shortcuts after enabling the advanced editing options if necessary.

Here's how:

1. Open the Email: Open the email you want to copy from in New Outlook.

2. Select the Content: Use your mouse to select the text or content you want to copy.

3. Copy: Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Cmd+C (Mac) to copy the selected content to your clipboard.

4. Navigate to Destination: Open the email or document where you want to paste the copied content.

5. Paste: Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste the content.

Enabling Advanced Editing Options (If Needed):

While basic copy and paste should work without special settings, in some instances, enabling advanced editing might be necessary for specific formatting or features to be correctly copied:

• Check Outlook Settings: Look for options related to "advanced editing" or "rich text editing" within Outlook's settings. These may allow for better fidelity when copying formatted content. The exact location of these settings can vary with Outlook updates, so check the help documentation if needed.

Troubleshooting:

• If you're having trouble pasting formatting correctly, try pasting as "plain text." This will remove any formatting from the source email. The option to paste as plain text is typically available when you right-click to paste.

By utilizing these steps, you can easily copy and paste emails or sections of emails within the new Outlook environment.
