Hello Pam, I am not sure but it might be that the table is being treated as plain text. If that is the case then after pasting it in Word you can select the text and convert the text to a table.
You will need to know how many columns to use and what type of mark separates the columns. Once you select the text use Alt followed by N followed by T, and then arrow up to the Convert Text to Table option. When you press enter key you can then choose how many columns to use. Tab across the controls and you will find a box for picking the type of mark that separates the columns. If it is a tab then pick tab in this box, otherwise, pick the appropriate mark. The bottom of the list also has an option for "Other" and if you choose that you can tab and enter the separating character. Chances are good that it is a tab mark separating the columns. Use the OK button to finish the converting. There is a setting in Outlook settings for having all mail read in plain text. You can uncheck this item if it is checked. Use Alt F followed by T to go into options. In the list of categories go to the last one listed, which is the trust center. Tab to and press spacebar on the trust center settings button. Use up arrow to Email security. If you tab through the controls one of them is for reading all standard mail in plain text. If the checkbox is checked you can use spacebar to uncheck it. Use the OK button. This might help for tables you receive in the future. Again, I am not sure if the table is being treated as text when pasted in word but if so then you can convert it. If it is actually still being treated as a table and not plain text then the conversion item will be Table to Text and you will need to find a different method for having your table paste with its formatting intact. Take care.

Unfortunately, the first one didn't work, but I will save those keystrokes for future use. The second option only gave me options of "unformatted Unicode text or unformatted text. By the way, my apologies for sending multiple copies of my first email. Periodically my email sends multiple copies, and I have no idea why this happens. Thanks again.

First, instead of using CTRL V to paste the text try pressing the application key, use down arrow to the paste options menu item. Use right arrow and press enter key on the option to keep source formatting. If that doesn't work due to your settings in Word or Outlook, try pasting using Alt with CTRL and V. In the paste special dialog arrow down and choose to paste as HTML. I hope one of these methods work for you. Take care.

Using JAWS 18, I am copying it with the F8 key, and then pasting it into Word with control plus v. My issue is that it is not keeping the table format when it is pasted into Word. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how I can keep it formatted as a table?
