Create Table in the Outlook or native Mail app

Hello,

I have the latest Office Suite installed on MAC OS X El Capitan. I have the email accounts configured on both outlook & native Mail app.

After I had complete my work in Spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel), when i try to copy paste the table into the message, it doesn't pastes properly.

In Outlook, it doesn't lets me format the the table, or create the table or add borders. How can i do this ?
In Native Mail App, again i can't create or copy the table?

This handicaps my usage of MAC OS, as i need to work on the spreadsheet largely? How do you guys copy/paste the tables into messaging windows? How do you create the table in these email applications on MAC platform.

Regards,

Vinay

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Outlook and Excel are Microsoft solutions and the ability to use a spreadsheet framework in Outlook is proprietary to Microsoft so unless Apple creates an MSOffice compatible Mail client you will need to use Outlook for Mac. If you are currently using Outlook for mac and this function is unavailable to you on Mac but possible on Windows you should consult the Microsoft Office forums for Macintosh or a support site specializing in Office for Mac

Attach the file to the email rather than trying to embed content containing special characters. Attaching the file will also eliminate problems trying to view the content by the recipient.
