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.

Hi Don! My name is David and I’m here to help. I understand that you're having trouble with copy and paste in the new Outlook. It can be frustrating when you're unable to directly copy documents from Explorer and paste them into your email. In the old Outlook, it was much easier for you to do this. In the new Outlook, the process is slightly different. Rather than directly copying and pasting from Explorer, you can use the "paper clip" icon above the email composition window to attach the file you want to send. I know it can be time-consuming to search through Explorer to find the exact document you want to copy and paste, especially if you have a lot of files. If you prefer to do it the old Outlook way or in the "Classic" format, I'm afraid that's not currently possible in the new Outlook. However, you can still attach the file using the "paper clip" icon and send it as an attachment. I hope this helps clarify the process for you. Thanks.

Please delete your comment as it is completely false. You can absolutely copy/paste files from Windows Explorer into New Outlook. Your comment is a lie.

I knew about this shortcut, but I am typing with one arm only. Thanks, anyhow. VK

try ctrl"V" instead of "paste"

I CANNOT with this new outlook!! I need to open multiple emails w/out having to press multiple buttons to do so. I need to be able to attached multiple documents to said email w/out having to click on the paperclip and attached EVERY document. The old version I could click "CNTRL" and add multiples, WHY IS THIS DISABLED???? I send emails to a TON of clients with a LOT of information. This takes more time and is LESS EFFICIENT. Very Frustrating!

Hi Amy, I tried to copy/paste an attachment from an email into Microsoft Explorer and it did not work. Is this function available? Thanks! Robert
