The Outlook message window is actually Microsoft Word.

You can do similar on the Mac but you have to open Word to an empty
document. You can paste what you want. You then go to the File menu, select
Send To, the Mail Recipient (as HTML).

What¹s missing in Entourage is a simple way of invoking this.

Conversation: MS Excel Data Appeared in Neat Columns in Message Body
Subject: MS Excel Data Appeared in Neat Columns in Message Body

One of my correspondents sent me a message containing in its body seven
columns of numerical data, not perfectly but serviceably organized beneath a
header. 

I have been trying to accomplish this in Entourage for years to little
avail. The best I can do is use a combination of tabs, spaces and backspaces
to line up the data ‹ at least on my composition screen -- and pray that the
recipient finds my data intelligible.

So I had to ask the sender how he accomplished this. He replied that he
simply copied the data from an Excel spreadsheet and pasted it into his
Outlook message screen.

I don't believe that method works satisfactorily for Entourage users yet,
without the data splaying all over the place. When I clicked on the reply
button, even his nicely organized data collapsed into columns.

Is an enhancement for Entourage users in the offing?
