I need to have the CC option on new emails always visible without having to click the button every time. I would like to be able to press TAB after entering recipients and get to the CC field. 

I'm on the new version (16.47 for Mac).

Outlook | MacOS | Legacy Outlook for Mac | For home

Thanks. I was hoping to not have to to any extra clicking to get to the CC field and just hit Tab. I found that I can change the settings to have all new messages appear in a separate window which accomplishes that for me.  See photo here: 

Thanks for your help.

    Absolutely astounding that this still hasn't been fixed. What on earth was to be gained by doing this?

    There's no workaround that works. It is simply wasting time for everyone in the whole world. The option to switch back to legacy has now gone, so we're stuck with this.

    Apparently Microsoft doesn't care. But they never really do, do they? I was starting to like the "new" Outlook, but having to click on CC several times today is pushing me back to the old one. Thanks again for making things worse with your improvements, Microsoft.

    I have been following this thread for some time. It is the single reason I have not upgraded. Is anyone at Microsoft listening.

    Just wanted to add an additional very strong vote for MS to PLEASE make the BCC and CC fields come up as standard in the next update to the 'New Outlook'. I dont really want to have to be a luddite and revert back to the 'old outlook', but if the next update doesnt fix this issue then I definitely will be doing that!
