Method 2: Using the "Table" feature in Microsoft Outlook

Method 3: Using a third-party add-in or browser extension

There are several third-party add-ins and browser extensions available that can help you copy tables from email bodies. For example:

• TableGrabber (Chrome extension): allows you to copy tables from email bodies with a single click.
• Email Table Extractor (Outlook add-in): allows you to extract tables from email bodies and save them to a CSV file.

Method 4: Using a screenshot and image editing software

1. Take a screenshot of the email body with the table.
2. Open an image editing software (e.g., Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP).
3. Crop the screenshot to remove any unnecessary parts.
4. Save the cropped image as a table (e.g., CSV, Excel, or PDF).

Please note that the above methods may not work if the table is not a standard HTML table or if the email body is not formatted correctly.
