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).

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.

    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

    I have the same problem, but the solution you found for "Open new messages and replies in a separate window" still won't show the CC field by default.  I have lots of automated email shortcuts that autofill all the fields for me and without this CC default, they are useless.  I know others in my team have it working correctly but makes no sense why mine doesn't.
