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.

Speedynix states "The only way I can get it to work is using Shift-Right click..."
Shift-Right Click is now my workaround.
AWESOME!!!!!
You've saved us all with your response. Thank you Keera.
I'm finding the same issue...any solution yet?
Holding shift while right click does work. For me, it isn't any better than CTRL+v. They embedded a callout function that basically lets you add emojis and alters fonts and colors just like the functions in the toolbar. Why they feel this was necessary is beyond me. The callout's name is ms-callout.root-655.css-93. I don't know enough about JS and HTML programming to go much further. If I try to remove it, the page immediately reloads it.
