Outlook 2010 changes formatting after pasting text

microsoft-officemicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2010

Every time I paste a link from say Google chrome to an Outlook email I am composing, all text I type from that point on has different text than the one before it.

How do I tell Outlook to stop changing my formatting every time I paste some text?

Best Answer

Your problem is that the copied text arrives with its formatting, which should be stripped. There are products that do that, and some browsers support a "copy plain text" operation or extension, but the simplest solution is to modify that option in Outlook.

From Copy and Paste in Outlook Without Messing Up Your Formatting :

Go to Outlook Options => Mail Format tab => Editor Options => Advanced, then scroll down a little ways to the Cut, copy, and paste options. Drop down each option and select "Match Destination Formatting" or "Keep Text Only".

I don't have Outlook 2010, so cannot judge how easy it is to get to these options.
