Fix My Text NowThe Problem: Huge Gaps in Lists
You ask ChatGPT or Claude to write an email. It looks perfect in the chat. But when you paste it into Outlook, every bullet point has a massive blank line between it.
• Second item (Why is there so much space??)
• Third item
Why It Happens
AI chatbots often wrap list items in paragraph tags (`<p>`). Outlook interprets these paragraphs as having their own margins, plus the list item's own spacing. The result is double or triple spacing where you only wanted a simple list.
- ChatGPT/Claude: Wraps text in `<li><p>Text</p></li>`
- Outlook: Renders margins for both `<li>` and `<p>`
How to Fix It
Option 1: Paste Text Only
Right-click in Outlook and choose "Keep Text Only". This removes ALL formatting, including bold, italics, and links.
Cons: Loses all other formatting
Option 2: Use PasteClean
We remove the hidden paragraph tags but keep your bold text, links, and list structure intact.
