Is there no way to copy cells with borders and paste them in a new mail?
It copies only the external borders and does not copy the internal ones.
Eg:
In Numbers:
But In Mail when pasted
MacBook Pro 15'' unibody Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.5)
Question asked and answered several times.
The answer is : Feature unavailable.
Borders and contents are different structures which aren't copied together.

Sukhi,
You could easily convert your table to PDF and retain all the style properties going to your mail doc.
Select Cells
Command-C
Open or switch to Preview
Command-N
Command-C
Paste in Mail

This feature is unavailable?!?!? How could Apple make something and omit an extremely imporant feature?
There should be an option to toggle on and off that makes borders and contents grouped together or grouped separately. This is a feature that is desparately needed.
Jerold, or Barry or Yvan have reported a method that may work for you.
Copy the table from Numbers
Switch to Preview
- select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard"
- use the select tool to enclose table
- copy
switch to Mail
- paste

The fact that it's desparately needed by Bruce Nitro don't make this feature a "must be included" one.
What is sure is that at this time it's unavailable.

What does that mean, really? I'm having trouble computing the meaning of grouped separately.

That fact that you complain that this question has been asked and answered several times on more than one thread should be painfully obvious evidence to you that I'm not the only one who thinks this feature must be included. It's a very simple, basic, and important feature. And I'm not sure why you're pompously defending Apple as if you're a Scientologist. You know very well multiple users complain about this. So don't counter-argue our complains making us feel like our point is moot. That's counter productive to actually getting Apple to fix what it broke: which was an operable Microsoft Excel system knock off.
So I guess this still doesnt work easily. After 30 yrs on a pc, just got my first mac. I often need to cut and paste part of a spreadsheet into an email message and without cell borders, it is not easy to read. I didnt want to have to buy the excel, but may have to so I dont spend and hour doing a funky workaround in numbers that would take less than a minute in excel.
Hi maggiesteamboat.
I would say that if you are used to excel then you can buy it.
But that will still not copy formatting in your email.
I have found that in numbers when the border size is >= 1pts then the
borders get easily copied and pasted. This doesn't happen in excel.
But since I am used to excel I have bought it on my mac.
The 2011 mac version is pretty good.
Hello, this is an old forum bit still...any updates on this? Still have to do a ridicoulous work around for something that tales 4 seconds in Excel?
Actually, I tried it again recently and it did work. I could select and copy and paste into an email with the exterior and interior borders (1 pt lines) all showing. I just did another test and emailed it to myself and it looks good. I even had some borders at 2pt thickness and they came through fine in the email.
I dont know why it started working for me - was it an apple update maybe?
If you copy and paste cells with outline weight greater that or equal to 1pt, then the outline will also be copied and pasted in the mail app. This was there perviously too. But this only works in Numbers app. đ
But alteast this is a solution.
I should have updates this before too.
Cheers.
Copy and Paste cells with borders?
