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.

    I cannot understand why such a bug cannot be fixed by Microsoft after so many months.

    Incomprehensible

    Doesn't work for me. When I click on send in Word it keeps opening Outlook classic.

    I absolutely hate this.

    It's the same with postponed send, it only works when the computer is turned on which renders the feature useless. So you have to work around it and adjust settings in Outlook Classic. Absolutely unbelievable these are two of Microsoft it's main software programs. Makes me wonder if there are interested at all in users.

    We had the same problem.

    A user started (NEW) Outlook from a fresh Windows installation. (He never opened Outlook (Classic)
    Here are the steps we did.

    1. Close (NEW) Outlook
    2. Open Outlook (Classic)
    3. Login to Outlook (Classic)
    4. When succesfull switch to (NEW) Outlook
    5. Test it

    Hope this works for you guys
