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

    I had to try a few times but it now finally works. Log out of New Outlook, open Classic Outlook, do the switch to New Outlook again.

    Thank you so much, this worked for me too! I have been using Outlook for 3 months and regularly send attachments and was finding this issue (like others I had no idea my emails weren't being sent until someone chased me for something and I found it sat in my outbox in my old outlook!).

    So thank you!
