Sharing from Word to Outlook still opens the old Outlook and not the new one so the emails are not sending.

Your suggestion is a workaround. Why cant Office 365 just share using New Outlook on Win 11 PC? I have this problem sharing from Excel, Word and PPT in Office 365. Only way is to save the file, then go to new outlook and attach the saved file to a new email, which is very ackward.

Any update on the answer to this question? I have the same problem.

When I am in Microsoft word and try to share a document via email, the old outlook client opens, rather than the "New Outlook".

I then hit send and because I don't have the old outlook open, the email just sits in the outbox and never actually sends.

Is there a way to make the "New" outlook the default email client for microsoft word email sharing?

Thanks,

Paul

I would also love an answer to this question. As the OP said, your solution is a work around, not an actual solution. To make matters worse, when I open an email and attempt to share the file, I can't attach it to the email if the file is open. That is very annoying. I went from 2 clicks to be able to share an office file I'm working on to having to save the file, close the file, open new outlook, open an email, attach the file, send the email, then reopen the file to continue working on it. Kind of ridiculous for what seems like a necessary feature that shouldn't have gone away with an "upgrade" to Outlook.

Is there a solution available for this yet? This workaround doesn't address the question, and I would also like a relevant answer.

I one-up this problem, I didn't realize that they weren't sending either and had a whole bunch of files stacked in outbox when I finally checked
