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.

jsher2000 has a workaround maybe to make Firefox's menu permanent no matter the site's default is.....I think....haven't had time to look at it.

Thanks for the link, BirdDog. I tried the workaround and it does work... well, sort of.
Firefox AND Outlook context menu BOTH pop up at the same time when I right click (snapshot below). The red box is Outlook context menu (that has Emoji in it) covered by Firefox context menu (see light blue box). Well, at least you can paste now.
Firefox workaround (credit goes to jscher2000 at mozilla.org)
Type about:config in the address bar and accept the risk
search for dom.event.contextmenu.enabled in the search bar
Click the icon (red arrow) to turn it to FALSE. Refresh outlook.live.com. You should now get Firefox context menu on top of Outlook context menu.
That works! Thank you!
Works for me. Thanks!
While typing a new email message look in the top right corner of your screen for a small box.
Then click on that box to “Allow this site to see your clipboard”
You must click on “New Mail” and then you will only see the Clipboard Box when you are actually typing in the body of the message. Or trying to copy and paste in the message area of the email. If typing doesn't turn on the box, then try copying and pasting something into the message area of the email.
Also, in the settings always leave the switch "On" for “Ask when a site wants to see text and images copied to the clipboard “- If you turn the switch off it will block you from Copying and Pasting into your emails.
