Hi, I have a very annoying problem. Win7 pro with MSO 2010. when pasting an xls table into outlooks email, it loses the format.the paste options only shows 'Keep text only' and nothing else. looked through the help files but no help. in the advanced paste menu, there are options only to enable the 'paste options' button but no way to control the paste options within it. HELPPPPPP!

This is not a Windows 7 operating system problem.

I'm having the same problem. Laptop is only 1 month old, and when I try to copy tables from Excel to Word I only get the paste as text option. I tried to paste my Excel table into a new Outlook e-mail message, and I had the same problem. I found the following thread that suggested that the copy and paste mode works when the internet browser (IE, Firefox etc.) is closed. I closed IE, and I was able to sucessfully copy and paste a table for Excel to Word with the correct formating. http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Offtopic/thread/d2e0c02a-3207-4b5e-a690-81c631422f6a Overall though keeping the browser closed in order to copy and paste correctly is not a good option. Thus, any help other than it's not a Windows 7 problem would be greatly appreciated.

Found the answer. The problem is with skpe click-to-call. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/excel-2010-paste-i-can-only-paste-text/9290d965-377e-e011-9b4b-68b599b31bf5?page=2
