How do I enable copy and paste in the new outlook?

I am not able to directly copy any documents from Explorer and then go to the email that I am working on to paste onto the emial. Before with the Old Outlook I was able to to do this easily but the New Outlook requires me to go to the "paper clip" Icon above then search thru the Explorer to find the file then the specific documents(which couple be hundred documents); this process takes sometime 5 miniuets to find the exact document to copy and paste. I need to do it the Old Outlook ways or "Classic" format so that I can do just the cut and paste as mentioned earlier of this email. Pleas advise ASAP thanks.

    This is the most inefficient concept (using the paperclip) I have ever encountered. The process needs to be simplified back to what it was. If not, I am certain, everyone will migrate to Gmail. This was a very, very unwise move by the developers in making this change as the the problem with finding an article of interest through the "paperclip" step has frustration levels through the roof. I, for one, will change to exclusive use of Gmail if the situation is not corrected with a couple of months. I've always liked Hotmail and outlook, but this no longer the case given the absurd changes that have been made.

    NOW THAT IS THE REAL OUTLOOK!! I would not give 10 cents for the New Outlook.

    Hopefully it will not "Disappear" like it did before.

    Thanks for your help.

    The missing PST file says there is no current accessible profile.

    To create a new Classic Outlook profile do the following:

    1. Right click the Windows Start button, click Run, and then put this command and click OK: outlook.exe /profiles
    2. Click Options, New, name the profile and proceed to add an account

    Or follow the steps in Create a new profile, Overview of Outlook email profiles - Microsoft Support.

    This is the one that I want on my system; Send me a download which will allow me to access previously saved emails.
