Pasting a table in an email message

I'm trying to paste an Excel table into an Outlook message. I was using Word as my email editor, and then I pasted the table in my email message as a paste special values only, and it looked great. But the recipient didn't see the table in the message, and when I looked in my sent folder, it didn't appear in the message there either.

I then turned off the Word edit feature, and it pastes in the message now (Paste special is disabled), but the table doesn't maintain integrity. Words and values are spread unevenly throughout the message.

Any ideas of a better way to do this? Thank you so much for your help.
 
In Outlook use Edit,PastSpecial...picture.
(I can't check which is the best of the picture options as IT have just 're-built' my computer so, naturally, I can't open Outlook![cry])
Try the one that says it is the most effeicient size or the 'metafile' one.
 
Gavona,

Thanks for your help, I wish you luck with your PC. That still didn't work however. The picture looks great in the message, but once I send it, it seems to disapear. The recipient doesn't see it, and it doesn't appear in the message in my sent folder.

What am I doing wrong?
 
I tried it with Outlook 2000 using Edit> Paste Special >Paste As Microsoft Excel worksheet and all went well.
Or Paste speciale > Forametted Text will aslo do the job
