Paste Numbers Spreadsheetlet in Apple Mail Email

I was able to reproduce this issue and found that the cells that don't come across the proper way were not actually formatted to be right justified. In my workbook they were set to the auto justify option. (far right button on the justify selection are)

the cells that did respect the alignment were set to right justified using the third button

Select the range of cells, then go to the Format pane on the right, under the Text Tab, select Right justified. now try your copy/paste again.

let us know if this solves your issue, if not let us know and we can try to find other things that might cause it.

Thanks

It's not "sort of an "automatic" justification." The A is short for Automatic. With that setting, Numbers automatically aligns text to the left side of the cell and automatically aligns numbers and quasi numeric values (such as Date and Time values and Durations) to the right edge of the cell.

Justification refers to the action of the fourth button, which sets alignment to both left and right cell margins, and adds space between words (or between characters) to produce straight left and right edges in blocks of text. Although this can produce a 'neat' page of text, the varying spacing between words can be annoying (particularly on narrow columns) and tends to slow reading of the text. Images below are of two copies of this paragraph (in Pages) using the automatic left alignment, then using (full) justification.

Note the larger spaces between words in the second and second last lines of the second example.

Welcome, Searchin99, to Apple Support Communities!

We see you are having trouble keeping the alignment, within a table, the same from Numbers to pasting into a Mail message.

I have noticed that once I paste a Numbers Table into a Mail message, it looses many of its Table like features, even though it still looks a lot like a Table. (In Pages, it is an actual Table, not simply something that look like one.)

However, I found that if I explicitly set the alignment of a column to be right-justified, in Numbers, the pasted table-like “thing” in Mail was also right-justified. Using Numbers 10.1 on iPad Pro running iPadOS 13.6.1.

Please let us know if this helps any.

By the way, Searchin99, «the justification box to the far right with the the letter A in it» is the default for most cells in Numbers.

It’s sort of an “automatic” justification (left for text, right for numbers, that sort of thing).

So, you didn’t select it by mistake.

never a problem,

have a great weekend
