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.

    I really don't know how these people who make such idiotic changes are even employed!

    This is a massive pain in the **** and means I'll be dispensing with Outlook if I can't find a solution.

    Has anyone got an email address to complain about this decision?

    1. I need to cut and paste many addresses that are misplaced as well as notes from one contact to another
    2. Also, how do I get the colored categories to apply to my calendar?

    I was having problems copying a signature line into my outlook contacts. I always would right click and paste into the notes section of a new contact and then copy and paste into the associated lines. New outlook did not allow this anymore. After about a year I found a message that said "highlight" then Control C to copy and then Control V to paste. That works for me. I just did that with a URL into a new email and it works.

    Exactly what I’ve done! The “old” Outlook works fine IMO. The problem is I can’t figure out how to link a URL into my e mail texts. I’ve been able to do this since 2000. No more. Oh well

    Control C to copy, Control V to paste.
