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.

    The "To" and "CC" lines and the subject line allows it, but not the body of the email. Ridiculous.

    Also, I can use the edit menu from the browser and Ctrl + V but not right click. Please fix this.

    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.

    Doesn't work for me. I'm using Firefox. There's no lock icon anywhere in the window, or elsewhere on the screen. No settings for this anywhere in the program either. Also, and I stated this before, I only have this issue with my office 365 mail. My live mail hasn't had this problem. This is defiantly something Microsoft did. It's been this way for so long, I doubt if anyone there cares or wants to resolve the problem.

    This started happening to us a few days ago. I re-started the computer and it fixed it but now it seems permanent.

    The only way to part fix it is by changing the email setting from html to plain - not ideal at all.
