Re: Question about retaining formatting on the web when copying to the clipboard

Brian, it turns out this issue is not related to which program we are using. It is to do with NVDA. If I copy something off the web to the clipboard using JAWS and paste into Outlook, formatting is retained. Please see Gene’s e-mail.

I would check what your default paste settings are in the Outlook Message editor.  (Also, for complete clarity, what version of Outlook).

I just went to a page on the New York times, selected a paragraph and a half of text entirely using keyboard commands and when running NVDA, and pasted in Word and all of the formatting, including links in the article, pasted right in.
