Right click paste not working in Outlook 365

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.

    Go to editor and turn it all off...spelling etc

    Right click opens the drop box with the paste function

    Thanks for this.

    In Firefox, it seems to help if you turn off advanced tracking protection for the outlook site. This is the shield next to the padlock icon.

    I tried it, Jeff. The paste option becomes visible in the right-click menu. You can copy but when you try to paste a window pops up informing you that you don't have access to the clipboard and suggests CTRL+V, etc. to paste. Also, turming off tracking protection unleashed the blocked ads. Square One.

    Thanks for this.

    Update: never mind this only temporarily messes with it.
