Before I switched to new outlook, I was able to double click on attachments and they would open to their specific apps. Ex. If it was a PDF it would open with Acrobat; If it was a word doc, it would open with word. Now I have to click the download button and it default saves to my downloads folder instead of being put where I want it in the beginning. I also can't drag attachments from an email to the specific folder I want to save it to on my desktop. I have to download and then move it from my downloads folder.
I know it's probably just a new process I'll have to get used to, but hey maybe someone knows a hack!
Thank you in advance :)
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Another thoughtlessly broken feature. Preview is garbage. Default programs are the default for a reason. Stop making things worse!
Does it mean I need to download or save every single document received? what is I just want to edit/add comments to a doc (word/PDF)? excuse my language, but this is redisclose
Dear Simbarashe,
The above is not working for HTML file and ZIP folders, if I click on them the download process begins.
Thank you for your help

Karma is a *itch.
I think it is fantastic that no one is even trying to reply to these from Microsoft anymore. FIX THIS NOW! Every month or so I try the new outlook....Have this issue on a daily report, and immediatly switch back.
