When I copy text from a Word document, and paste the text into an email, some words go missing. But if I paste the text into Notepad, then copy from Notepad to an email, no text is lost. Not being able to copy from Word to email, and be confident that no text is lost, is really annoying.
eg. in a recent text, when I highlight and copy several sentences, then paste into email, it copies the first 120 chars ok, misses 37 chars, copies the rest ok

There has always been severe limitations on what you can paste into an email, depending upon which email program you are using.
Word 2016 is much, much more capable in this regard. In Office 2011, you just have to live with it.
Hope this helps
Hey,
I think that this could be an issue with Outlook 2011 for mac also along with Word 2011 for mac issue, and I suggest you rather try and repair disk permissions to see whether you are able to copy and paste all text fine from Word 2011 for mac to Outlook 2011 for mac.
