Right click paste not working in Outlook 365

John,

I checked on Firefox and I believe you're correct, I cannot find any settings to prevent using the clipboard, so I'm not sure what the issue could be there.

MacPheDJ,

The lock icon is just to the left of the "https://" in the browser in Edge. My coworker had the option to copy and even had the option to paste on the right-click menu, but when pasting, nothing would happen. I replied to Risdon & Risdon because their issue sounded similar to the one we were having, not necessarily all the issues for everyone on this thread. I apologize for upsetting you, I was only trying to help others with the solution I found. If the paste option is not showing up, that sounds like a different issue that I cannot help with. I don't work for Microsoft, I'm just a user trying to help where I can.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm not upset. That happened months ago when I first encountered this problem. More like irritated by it. I'm fairly sure that the issue is with the embedded apps in the page and not a browser setting. I believe this on 2 parts. One, I use Hotmail, which is now Outlook.Live (paste works fine). Basically a lesser version of Outlook.Office365. Not as many extras. And 2, because I can still CTRL+v and paste that way. If clipboard was being blocked, I would think that any way to use it would be prevented and not just the right click also, copying works without problems. The only paste problem I have on any computer (this problem happens on any computer I've tried) is only on Outlook 365. I'm just guessing here, but maybe they think by doing this people will install Outlook on their devices.

You have been very helpful, Keera!! I should have done more research. Copy and Paste both appear in the right-click context menu in Edge. Under "Permissions for this site", Clipboard is set to "Ask (default)" for the Paste function. It can be set to Allow, Block, or Ask. Sorry for sounding upset with you. I was upset with Microsoft because the paste function disappeared from the right-click context menu when using Firefox, but maybe I should be upset with Firefox because the problem is on their end? I prefer to use Firefox so I'll muddle along until Paste reappears. It's not the end of the world. Thank you!

FYI. I tried my Gmail account via Firefox. There is nothing missing from the right-click context menu.

No worries. I understand your frustration. It's hard when they make so many changes and updates all the time and it seems like they can't get the simple things right anymore.

I tend to bounce between Chrome and Firefox, depending on what I'm doing. Certain things work better in one or the other, so I will often switch between them when I'm using specific websites. It seems to be working okay on Chrome, but I have Microsoft 365, I don't have Hotmail.

Good luck! :)
