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.

    Classic Outlook worked great until this morning as when I opened Outlook I watched my created File Folders on the left side start deleting on its own. The final result was the standard issued file folders.

    I checked my Comcast Emails and all folders remain unchanged.

    I created a matching folder name in Outlook under my account and then watched the emails from the Comcast folder upload into the newly created Outlook file folder. When I create a different folder to transfer from my Comcast Account, I watch the emails being uploaded but the previous folder that I created disappears.

    Any suggestions?

    Thats just STUPID! Take a simple process and make it difficult. I thnk maybe Microsoft is hiring ex-government employees.

    This is absolute frustrating and unacceptable, I wish the developers understand that this should be a feature that we need and bring it back.

    On another note to reply to Don, if you do a forward you can copy then and paste in another e-mail or attachment. Double work but at least you don't have to retype everything.

    I wish there was a way to get them to change it back. I talked to a lawyer friend of mine and he said they are not doing anything illegal just doing stupid stuff to upset their customers and best way to make your point is to stop using them. Hit them in the wallet where it always hurt.
