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.

    Is there a solution available for this yet? This workaround doesn't address the question, and I would also like a relevant answer.

    I also want an answer on that. For information, I set Outlook new in the default App for the MAILTO protocol.

    I am still wondering why Microsoft have so much pain to offer a real User Experience. It is insane!

    Hi! We have spent 5 hours connecting the new Outlook version to Word and we are so disappointed that this simple option is not available yet.

    Also anxious for a response. I don't use Word much but have the same issue with Excel and also File Explorer.
