Using classic Outlook for Windows in educational settings
There is no insert when creating a calendar invite. Also, when I save my quick parts as templates, it doesn't save the photos. This change is terrible. PLEASE BRING QUICK PARTS BACK asap!!!!!

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Did quick parts disappear with the new outlook? I can't access my old quick parts or make new ones. I used this feature daily, I can't find it at all now.

Removing quick parts (a feature I use every day), for the role of support staff, supporting a very high level busy C Suite executive, is like removing Excel for an accountant. My entire way of working just changed with the new outlook my company is starting to mandate. Using templates is not the same as using Quick Parts. Why would Microsoft remove this very useful feature....why?????
Why would Microsoft remove a feature that is so helpful in working in a fast-paced environment????
I found that the simplest work around is to use Signatures. Doesn't work for true "parts" of a message, but in most of my use cases, I'm looking more for a canned response than a true quick part.
No offense taken, but why not just use outlook Web if you like a lighter product?
There's folks out here (me included) whose daily work has been negatively impacted by a loss of functionality. If they needed an app version "like" Outlook Web, why not just create a version that allows the user to choose a "light profile" that shaves off the "fluff" they don't use? This gives the user the option to choose the profile that makes sense for their workflow needs. Everybody gets the version they need and nobody gets left in a lurch.
I think Microsoft can afford to keep at least half an eye on the needs of legacy users who rely on their product for.. well.. productivity.
