Question

Why in Frame 19 can I not paste a table as is to Outlook? It worked in Frame 15.

In an earlier Frame version, it was easy to copy/paste a table to an Outlook message and preserve the table format, with a simple copy/paste. This is no longer possible in Frame 19: it copies the table as plain text, it does not preserve the table or bullets, etc. I set Outlook Format Text to HTML, and still no go. I recently upgraded from Frame 15 to Frame 19.

    Hi,

    Maybe this is an Outlook issue.

    In Outlook there is an option to set the behaviour, when you paste something from another application into an Outlook e-mail.

    The option is in (translated from German) Options | E-mail | Editor options | Advanced | Cut, Copy and Paste:

    Paste from other applications

    There you can set to keep the original formatting or to paste only the text.

    Best regards

    Winfried

    Thanks, Winfried, I looked at the Pasting from Other Programs setting in the Outlook Options and it’s already set to Keep Same Formatting (Default). That in effect should do it, but it doesn’t. The only solution I can find so far is to save the Frame document containing the table as RTF, search for the table in the RTF file and select it, then paste it into the Outlook message. -- Bert

    I played with this yesterday, Bert. I run Fm on a Mac and use Mac mail instead of Outlook—but found that I had the same result as you pasting a table into Mac mail, and also into Word.

    You might post this on Tracker so that the Adobe engineers can see it.
