Ever pasted content from Word or a web page into a new email and found that you had to spend time fixing little formatting issues? How about trying to make changes to the layout of a table pasted from Excel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlook Web App features an enhanced text editor<\/a> that is easy to use and provides many new capabilities.  Both Office 365 and Exchange Server 2013 SP1 customers will benefit from this enhancement.  Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More pasting options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you compose a new message in Outlook Web App, it displays a paste menu<\/b> that allows you to switch between different paste modes for your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you want to maintain the source formatting as closely as possible. Use Paste As Is (P)<\/b> for a high fidelity rendering of the copied content from Office applications like Word or Excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe you are more interested in the content than the format. Use Paste Simple HTML (C)<\/b> to get rid of the font colors and sizes, while preserving the basic layout. This is great choice when pasting tables and bulleted lists from a busy web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if you just want to paste the text, Paste Text<\/b> (T) does exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the other new features supported in the enhanced text editor is the ability to paste images directly from the clipboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
