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

    This is how I originally stared using the new outlook. I tried this again since the classic was open from trying to share a document and it still did not work. Thanks for the idea.

    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!

    Try uninstalling New Outlook first and then try the switch in Classic Outlook
