You paste a list from a website, another document, or an AI tool. Instead of a tight, professional list, you get massive whitespace between every item.

Why Bullets Break

  • 1
    Paragraph Tags Inside Lists: HTML often nests `<p>` tags inside `<li>` tags. Email clients render both sets of margins, doubling the space.
  • 2
    Mismatched Styles: Copying from web to desktop apps often brings "Web" paragraph styling (1.5em) into a "Desktop" environment.

2 Ways to Fix It

Method 1: The Manual Fix

1. Select your list in Outlook.

2. Right-click, select Paragraph.

3. Set "Spacing After" to 0 pt.

4. Uncheck "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style".

Method 2: PasteClean (Instant)

Paste your list here first. We strip the hidden formatting codes that cause the spacing. Then just copy and paste perfectly into Outlook.

FAQ

Can I keep my bold text?

Yes! Unlike "Paste as Plain Text", PasteClean keeps your bold, italics, and links. It only removes the bad spacing.

What about sub-bullets?

We preserve list nesting. Sub-bullets will remain indented correctly.
