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

Have upgraded to the new Outlook.

I used to be able to easily share a word doc or pdf version as an attachment onto email.

It currently still loads up the old outlook when using this feature. i want it to open up the new outlook when using the share feature on word.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    Yes...still so very frustrating. Why can't we just delete the old version?

    I agree with the most previous post.

    This does not solve the issue at hand. When you share a document it still opens the old outlook and then does not send.

    Not sure about anyone else, but Windows 11 with NEW Outlook this post does not solve the issue. Quite frankly I am so tired of hearing the complaints about it from the end users!

    Plusing up the problem. I have had multiple important emails never be received due to sitting in the outbox of the old app. Very frustrating and consumers deserve a solution
