Copy cells from Excel 2010 to an email in Outlook 2010, and send, the recipient gets the email with the text and table formatting removed in the email.

These are the four cells we copied and pasted into Outlook:

Test Spreadsheet

Testing cell format

Jill's formatting

Cam's formatting

This is the results in the recipient email:

Test Spreadsheet

Testing cell format

Jill's formatting

Cam's formatting

 

 What settings need to be modified to prevent this from losing the formatting?

Hi, what type of message did you send, Plain Text, Rich Text or HTML?

If you sent Plain Text, some of the features may be lost, such as Tables. We suggest you send HTML:

1.Click the File tab.
2.Click Options.
3.Click Mail.
4.Under Compose messages, in the Compose messages in this format list, click HTML.

If the message format is not the reason, as a workaround, you may first copy and paste the content into Notepad, then copy and paste to New Message, to test if this works.

Regards.
