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

Anonymous

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.

Just a heads up everyone. Microsoft, DOES NOT CARE that we are all having the same problem with their software that they pretty much force on us. We will just have to wait until somebody over there gets off their fat butts and adds a line of code to fic the problem.

It would be great to have the share attachment option work from Word to OutLook (new), however if you use OneDrive to share instead it works fine.

Hoping for OutLook (new) to facilitate the shared attachment option soon.

I have updated all default apps but the old OutLook still holds some defaults that cannot be changed, yet.

Thanks
