I'm currently using the new Outlook, how do I easily insert a horizontal line in an email, now that that feature has been removed the "Insert" menu?

Hello,

Here we are a year later, and still this issue persist. I there really an effort being applied by MS to resolve this issue...along with all the other limitations and bugs that have been noted in this forum as well as others? As a recent victim of being converted to the new Outlook, this along with not being able to insert symbols or basic shapes as with all the other MS apps, has a real impact on efficiency for using this version. What was the intent of introducing this version? Clearly was not as an improvement for the users.

I would gladly revert to the old version but I have been advised that is not possible due to the size of the Outlook data base file for doing so being limited to 50GB. I had no problem before, but nothing but problems since 'toggling' the new Outlook....and NOW cannot go back. How typical.

Is there or is there not a plan to resolve these issues and 'bugs'?

I solved it by writing my email in Word 365 and adding a horizontal line from the Borders dropdown menu. Then I Copied everything and pasted it into the email in new Outlook, and it worked.

I am continuing to use New Outlook as last year I found the Classic version suddenly stopped recording my Sent emails, and that was a disaster.

Looking for this feature to come back as well...

So are you going to fix it?
