Always show CC field

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.

    :-) Yep! Happy new year too. I've tried the new one for a while now, but really missing the old interface, tempting to click the magic button and go back!

    I think the point here is that it was a really bad design choice. But, and I'll say it again, M$ has no financial reason to change this, so it will not be a priority, so it will probably not change for a long time (if ever). Happy New Year!

    Hi JustinSpire,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft community.

    Based on your description, I've tested on the new Outlook for Mac. Cc option appears indirectly at the right side to the To field in the default New Message window. It seems to be by design. However, by clicking the mini arrow icon to expand the window, you will have the Cc field appearing directly under the To field.

    Thanks,

    Qian

    Everyone appears to be asking how to get it back by default under the To: field as opposed to being all the way off to the right, this is very inefficient and requires a lot of mouse work. In the office, most people CC someone on every email.....
