Pasting tables into an email
It would be great to be able to copy a selection of cells from Excel and paste them into an email without losing the the cell (table) structure.
Currently I use the IOS email program if I need to do this.

I just had my first experience of pasting *formatted* text into an Outlook mail shell to send myself a note. It pasted in microscopic font that seems to have been inherited from the app where I copied the text.
Until now, emails on IOS have always been straight text! No italics, no hyperlinks. I would love the choice to copy and paste rich formatting, with links, etc. intact.
But this in-between ground is unacceptable. Either give me a choice between pasting as text or preserving formatting (as in the superior Outlook client app), OR give me the predictability of pasting straight text stripped of all formatting.
Thanks!

1. Could copy full format including the “table” while paste to another new mail
2. Could set the font color to have a “cil” feature -

When I’m on offsite, I usually use my phone to send reports. But I’m frustrated that I have to screen shot tables every time. Please make it possible to paste excel/sheet tables!

Please allow for the insertion of a blank table into an email and also other basic text formatting options. Email saved templating would be nice too!

It would be great to be able to copy / paste hyperlinks, tables and other graphics from Word and internet browsers into a draft email message I’m writing. When I copy a table with graphic and try to paste it into an email, this results in raw text only. The graphics and other formatting don’t translate into the draft email.
I’m working from an iPad platform and did not experience these issues when I used a Microsoft powered desktop computer. From the desktop I could copy and paste text easily and almost always the formatting was maintained.
Can you help?
Thank you as always for having such great user support!

I don't understand why there is no features to draw a table in the email that I want to send out. Equally as silly as not able to insert a picture into signature.

Please can we either create tables in emails on the ipad app, or at least let us copy and paste properly from word app on ipad. Otherwise, what is the point of using your products.
