Pasting into MS Word or emails in MS Outlook doesn't work

[mhamill]

Pressed Alt-A 1 on Atom, and hit paste in MS Word or MS Outlook to send a code snippet by email.

Doesn't work.

What am I missing?

Was the plugin using it's standard settings? In that case the code will be copied as HTML and that might either, if you copy html, get interpreted as html by the target application or be denied since the application doesn't support html.

Try changing the Output format option for that preset to RTF instead and see if that solves your problem.

Some more info on what the content you try to copy would also help. Could you provide a minimal viable snippet of code that doesn't work?
