This time, the text remained unchanged. Then, two hours later, I did the same test again and found that it started to do as it did before. So, I went into Outlook and found and option about the auto correction which I disabled. I am not sure however it this would be a factor.
No idea. I can just guess; perhaps some preferences are stored separately in Outlook.
