Before you start

Ensure you are logged into both Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Loop using the same Microsoft 365 account so that links and components sync correctly.

Copy the Content

Highlight the required text within the email body, right-click, and select Copy (or press Ctrl+C).

Paste into Microsoft Loop

Navigate to your target Microsoft Loop page, click where you want the content to appear, and Paste (or press Ctrl+V).

Solution 2

Copy a Link to an Individual Email
