Question

I have an alert set up for a discussion board. We have been using Office 03 just fine, email comes in, the body is shown fully, everything is great. However, when we transferred to Office 2010, not sure if its Outlook 2010 or Excel 2010, but when a table is copied from Excel into an Outlook email, the table is cutoff. The same procedure was used in Office 2003 and the table stays in tact. It's as though the only thing that shows in a couple of column headings (not even all of them), and all of the rest of the rows are cut off and out of view. Is there a known issue with Office 2010 and SharePoint 2007 not working together for this issue?

I've tried pasting options (keep formatting and values only), i've tried many different table sizes, i've tried pasting as picture, i've tried specified column and row sizes, nothing seems to work. Its like Outlook 2010 REALLY doesn't like keeping the tables in tact.

Solution 3

Upgrading to SharePoint 2010 fixed the problem.

OTHER TIPS

Please specify exactly what parameters have changed. Eg you changed to office 2010, but is outlook and SharePoint version the same?

Also add a sceenshot showing the issue?

I am still a bitnunclear on where SharePoint comes into the picture, other than being the trigger of the mail. This means your question is borderline off-topic. Depending on how you describe The relation your post might be moved to Stack Overflow.

If you upgraded from earlier versions of Outlook, the rendering engine changed substantially in 2007 and 2010 using word to render html mail. This affected copy paste from other apps. Check out this article and its links.

The HTML is invalid! You got multiple '</head>' and '<body>' tags.
