I cannot copy a complete e-mail anymore and paste it in a new e-mail.

Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem.

In my case I cannot copy and paste the text from an email no matter whether I use the Ribbon, Ctrl-C, or right click --> 'Copy.'

No matter which method I use, I cannot seem to copy the text and paste it into any other text field (in Outlook or elsewhere), and instead I get whatever I last copied (in this case, a recipient).

I was able to get some text to copy if I select only a few words of a sentence, but it was inconsistent.

For reference: I was copying and pasting from an email in my work Outlook. The email included formatting such as colored, bolded, and differently-sized text. It also included a link to a poll. I could not find any pattern of text that consistently let me (or prevented) copy/paste features working as intended.

I already checked to confirm that Outlook.com had permission to access my clipboard. I have used this feature in the past (regularly).

My best guess is that it is some security feature ('feature') interfering with clipboard functionality.

HI!

I ran into the same situation. My workaround is to "move" it to the file I initially wanted it in and then "copy" it to the initial folder.

Dear Eleni Constantinou

We dont need to copy the email text, rather attach the email as attachement, which is important to submit the email if needed to another person.

Please we need this feature on urgent basis. The new update have many missing features and on the Bottomline the Classic outlook outperform the new version is all criterion and professional use. Kindly requesting to either roll back or keep all the features of the Classic outlook into the new version.

Dear MS,

What good it adding all of the extra keystrokes if it still does not accomplish what the user needs.

I want to copy and attach the email previously sent and attach it to a new email, starting new message string. With the older version of Outlook, all I had to do as right click on the mouse, selecct copy and then go and past it as I would any other document to the new email message.

All if the extra keystrokes and or other paste suggestions you note don't give me, the user and sender, the same ability in the previous version of OUtlook.

What is the fix?

Thanks, Greg

Microsoft are a joke. A business that alters, adds or deletes functions in their Apps at their own discretion would not last 5 minutes b/c of the backlash from customers. But Microsoft look like it takes the position that they have the monopoly & can do whatever the hell they want. Concerning the cut & paste of emails, the ability to select a whole folder of emails & copy & paste into File Explorer was a great function. Well done Microsoft on P off much of your customers. Not sure why I'm posting this as Microsoft will not give a toss .... but it just feels better to vent my annoyance. Have a nice day.
