Excel pasted into email showing up illegible

When my team pastes an excel file into an email, I am unable to view the picture in the email. When I open the picture as an attachment it shows up as a negative image, black as white and white as black which makes it illegible. I have already tried Searching online for answers; looking for a regular/negative option; trying to find an "open with" option; saving to the phone and opening in the gallery. Other team members have Android phones and do not have this issue. Please help!

Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles. For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).
All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters. You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.
The article below has some good tips & resources for reliable e-mail templates you could use:

How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

Excel tables pasted into email

If I receive an email that contains an excel table pasted into it I do not see the lines. If I look at the email on a windows machine I see the lines. If I paste from excel into an email I am writing in mac mail I do not see the lines.
Any solution? I receive these pasted tables every day at work and without the lines they are impossible to read.
Thanks from a recent convert!

Are the dates switching during the process of import? I just ran a test and that does not happen for me. Or are the dates in the Excel file set for English United States, and you would like them to be formatted English United Kingdom? If this is the case, to change format in Excel, select the cells, Format menu > Cells > Numbers > Dates > Locales.

IPad 2. I want to COPY an address in my contacts list to PASTE into email

iPad 2. I want to COPY an address in my contacts list to PASTE into an email. How do I do that? When I try it just zooms me away to the MAPS location. Help!

Good Afternoon Njc999,
Here are two quick ways to copy a contact's email address so that you can paste it into an email or a field in another application.
Open the Contacts application, select the contact, and then click Edit. This will allow you to copy any information you need from your address book.

Select "Copy Address" from the drop down menu beside the sender's name in an email you have received or sent.
See the dropdown arrow beside the name John Appleseed in the image below. Click on the drop down arrow in one of your email messages to see the "Copy Address" option.

Can't copy from Excel & Paste into Buzzword anymore?

When Buzzword was in Labs, we used it to copy tables from excel and paste them directly into the buzzword doc without any problems. Now when I copy/paste from excel, I am getting text-only versions of my tables (In Firefox 3.0.17) and weird one-cell tables for each data field in IE7.
Did Adobe remove this functionality?

I'm having the same issue as well...UNLESS it's a feature you have to PAY for in which case is sad.

Extracting emailed photos that were pasted into email document into a file

Is there a way I can do this? I would like to copy photos that were emailed to me and place them into a file folder on my computer. However, these photos were not sent as an attachment, but were pasted onto the emailed document. I noticed on the print menu, a "print to file" option that I could "click" to activate. However, that option was "grayed" out and I could not activate. My operating system is Vista 32 and my printer is HP Officejet J4540. Any suggestions you have would be most appreciated. Thanks

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

Copy and paste JPG into email not working

Upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 yesterday from Snow Leopard. iMac from 2009. Copied JPG from web page and pasted into email. Looked fine. Sent email to myself. When I read email, the JPG photo is replaced with small blue box with question mark. This always worked flawlessly prior to the upgrade. I tried the terminal with defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg to no avail (screen snip and paste behaves the same as copy and paste). Set the defaults back to png ... verified with a defaults read. I'm missing something, but I can't tell what.

To reassure you: You don't need to do anything to trigger these issues. ;-) They happen regularly, yet under lab conditions there seems no clear way to nail them down... Most of the time restarting the system and starting with a clean slate gives back the functionality.

I cannot copy from any website opened in FIrefox and paste into Word since using Windows 7, Office 7.

I just started using a new Windows 7 computer with Office 7 installed. I can no longer copy from any webpage opened in Firefox and paste into Word.
I can paste into email. Word to Word is OK. And copy from email and into Word is OK. But not from an opened webpage into Word.
Any help GREATLY appreciated!

it sure would be nice if Firefox had technical help that customers could call for help.

1. Wherever you last saved it.
2. On the Clipboard, provided you have not copied anything since copying it, cut anything since copying it, or shut down the computer since copying it.

How can i paste a column of email addresses from an excel spreadsheet into a Mail message To: window

In the past I have been able to send a group email by copying a column of email addresses from an Excel spreadsheet and pasting it into the To: window of an email message I had composed. I simply dragged my cursor down the column containing the email addresses, right-clicked Copy, put my cursor into the To: window of the email, and hit Paste. Mail recognized the list as a series of email addresses and I was able to hit Send and the email went on its way.
Today I tried to do this and after I hit Send I got an error message. It appears to me that Mail did not recognize the list as a series of individual email addresses but saw them as one long address; the error message said it "did not appear to be a valid email address". Has something changed in Mail? I recently installed Mavericks!
I can't be the only one who sends group emails this way. Are others experiencing this problem?

Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
5) Send
If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

How to paste a Word table into email without showing the guidelines.

When I paste a Word table into an email using Explorer, the guidelines don't show. When I paste into an email while using Firefox, the lines show. I don't want the guidelines to show.

BigEnd wrote:
When pasted from Word, the graphics are Inline by default. You can correct each one by selecting the graphic and then Anchored Object, Options and selecting Above Line (centered etc). What I do then is create an object style to these specs and this makes it quicker to apply to the graphics.
You say that there are very many graphics in the doc - does anyone know how to make the above settings the default when graphics are pasted from Word?
M
Thank you M, but I believe I figured it out:
I made styles in Word to make things a bit simpler when changing large sections of text, so within the settings of the images style select Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks. Under 'Textbox Options' the Tight wrap defaults to 'None' - Select 'All'.
When the file is placed into InDesign, the images don't overlap, and are exactly where they need to be.

Copying text in a column and pasting it into email

I'm trying to copy a list of email addresses that are in a column in Numbers. It either won't let me paste it in an email at all or if I can get it pasted in another place it pastes it almost like it was an image, not individual lines of email addresses.
Any help?

Your first question was:question1
Any idea about how to copy a column of e-mail addresses from Numbers into Text Edit or Textwrangler for example without needing to go via yet another program? Why does not copy and paste work on simple text in Numbers?
After my response, you change to a completely different question. So, of course my response to question1 may be inaccurate for question2.
question2
Anyway -- what I stated was thanks for the help -- it works as you say, but does not really solve my or most peoples problems with this (I have now realised).
Because dropping in address groups from the Addressbook will still format the addresses so that they cannot be copied (intuitively/plainly as in Excel). One could however copy them and paste into a new document once again, but then you have to manually drag the table for hours to reach the length needed to be able to paste the addresses into the table, in order that one subsequently may be allowed to actually copy the addresses normally. Numbers also default to hiding many relevant columns when dragging and dropping Addressbook groups (one has to unhide them).
I just find it odd that a Mac app should be even more difficult to actually use than even the hopeless Excel ... . /Jerry
This question is not really related to Numbers but to AddressBook.
It's quite funny because from time to time, on this forum, some users are annoyed because when they copy rows from Numbers, hidden rows are copied too
while you are annoyed because , when you copy from AddressBook, hidden fields are not copied.
In your message, if I understand it correctly, there is something which seems to be wrong.
When we paste hudreds of rows of datas in a table, there is no need to create the table's rows by hand. Just paste at the bottom of the table and the new rows will be created automatically.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

How copy article from Internet,paste into document,send as email attachment

A friend has asked me to do some research for her. She has limited online hours. She wants me to copy articles from Internet, paste them into a document, then send that document AS AN ATTACHMENT to an email. I know how to copy the article, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PASTE IT INTO A DOCUMENT, NOR DO I KNOW HOW TO SEND THAT DOCUMENT AS AN ATTACHMENT TO EMAIL.
Normally when I copy and paste, it goes directly into the email. The goal of this method I have been asked to use, is so that the recipient can download the document and read it off line. Thanks for any advice on this.

Others give good advice, here - but, to answer your question...
First, you'll need to use a text editor to create the document that will contain the pasted information, and which will become the attachment to your email. TextEdit, which probably came with your Mac, will work. Whatever text editor or word processor you use, be sure to Save the document in a format she can open. Rich text is probably the safest choice, because almost any word processor can open that format.
So, start TextEdit, and when the new document appears, select Save from the File menu. When the Save window pops up, give the new document a name, and select your Desktop for the location. Down at the bottom of the Save window, for File Format, choose Rich Text Format (RTF). If she is not on a Mac, be sure the Hide Extension box is NOT checked. Click the Save button.
Now you can start copying and pasting from websites. The process will go like this:
Select some text, then choose Copy from your browser's Edit menu. Next, switch to TextEdit, put your cursor where you want the text to appear, and select Paste from TextEdit's Edit menu. (If you are going to do a lot of this, it will pay to learn the keyboard shortcuts.)
Selecting text on web pages can be somewhat frustrating. For really long selections, click once to put your cursor where you want to start copying, scroll down to where you want to end, and - while holding down the Shift key - click again; everything between the clicks will be selected. Try to select text, only. If you paste any graphics into your RTF document, TextEdit will prompt you to re-Save the document in RTFD format. If she really needs graphics, you can do that, but before you do, be sure she can open documents in that format. Most tables on web pages are impossible to copy and paste without the columns and rows going all out of alignment, so screen shots - which are images - are the best bet for tables. (If she can't open a RTFD document, you can convert the FINISHED file to a non-editable, but easily viewable, PDF document by choosing that option from the Print window. Be warned that if you create a long document with many graphics, and then convert it to PDF, the file size can get big - possibly preventing some mail servers from delivering it.)
When you start pasting into TextEdit, you are going to get all sizes of text in various colors and fonts. If you paste text from a web-page that has white text on a black background, you will not see the white letters on your white page (tip: select the white area). After the first text is pasted into TextEdit, go to the Format menu and select Font>Show Fonts and a new tool window will appear. Select the text you just pasted, and format it to a readable size and font, then de-select the text. From now on, whenever you want to paste: from TextEdit's Edit menu, select Paste and Match Style.
When you are ready to send the file, Save and Close your TextEdit document. From Mail's File menu, select Attach File. Navigate to your Desktop, select your document, and, if she is using Windows, check the box to Send Windows Friendly Attachments. Click Choose File, to add the attachment to your email.

How can I change the format of text pasted into a Mail email from another document?

I paste some text from a word document into an email in Mail. In the word document, the text was indented .5" from the right margin. In the Mail email document, the text also appears indented .5" from the right margin.
But since this was the last text in the email I am composing, my text following the pasted-in part continues at the indented "style" of the pasted in text. And thre are no controls for changing this indentation on subsequent text in that email, nor can you chage the indentation formatting of the text pasted in.
Even when you select "decrease indentation" under the format/indentation options in the menu bar, Mail will not reduce a "pasted-in" paragraph indentation nor will it return a subsequent text paragraph you type in manually back to a left-adjusted margin.
Am I miising something?
Is there a way to see something in each Mail message composition window akin to what you see in a word processing document that allows you to set margins and indentations and tabs for individual paragraphs? Just like the Formatting controls you have here in the Apple Support communities when you ar composing a message and that I used to indent this paragraph?
And then used to return this paragraph back to the original left adjusted formatting?
Steve

Thanks for the reminder. I use the formatting toolbar but forgot to go there instead of the Format menubar item for Mail to try the indent and outdent commands.
But, alas, that indent, outdent option has no impact on text pasted into the message. It remains stuck at the indent level of the source text.
Might the answer lie in switching to plain text and formatting there? Tried that and no difference.
I did discover that if you highlight text pasted in with its "own" indentation preference "baked in" you can indent that text further and even "outdent" it back to where it was, but you cannot shake it's original indentation status to get it back to full left margins.
