I am operating Office 365 email on Windows 10.
When I compose an email, the program will allow me to right click and copy words. But it will not allow me to right click and paste words. It gives me only the option to paste an emoji.
I also cannot find the paste icon at the top of Microsoft 365 to use that function.
I tried to upload a screenshot but it won't go through.

For me, this menu is now available ony from the Subject line of the email ...bummer. So, I think with some registry change I can make it available for the body of the email. This would help those who have menu problems.
For me browser context menu is available everywhere (To, From, Subject etc) except in the mail body (Firefox browser).
I'm using Firefox browser. Outlook web overrides browser context menu (right click) in the email body. I get 2 different menus:
Right click only (Outlook context menu pops up)
Right click with Shift button (Firefox browser context menu pops up)
There is no clipboard permission in Firefox browser as far as I know. What we're seeing is a context menu presented by the website (outlook.live.com).
Whoever is in charge with Outlook development must be a kid to think that emoji is more important than business related functionalities. What's next? A "slap with a fish", "poke recipients" context menu?
There seems to be different degree of problems. I have the new "Emoji menu" too but I also have Copy, Cut, Paste and Paste as plain text too. In my case, my paste button would not paste until I unblocked my clipboard as I stated earlier. If users are not getting the full "Emoji menu", then it's obviously another issue which, I think, would involve registry changes. I want to try to get the old menu back with the Google search option. For me, this menu is now available ony from the Subject line of the email ...bummer. So, I think with some registry change I can make it available for the body of the email. This would help those who have menu problems.
We already know that. it was in a previous post. It's not an answer. It's a workaround like CTRL+v.
I found the answer for Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1411533 Very simple, hold down the shift key while you right-click in the message and then you will get the Paste option.
Works all the time.
