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.

I DON'T EVEN SEE A PAPER CLIP BUTTON?

That is what happened to me and the older version was automatically deleted from my computer. After speaking with numerous Microsoft reps (posts), I was provided a link to install the deleted version of which I am using now. The issue for me is that the Outlook that I purchased years ago should function the same today as it did when I purchased it. Just because there is a "New and Improved (Junk)', does not permit the provider to change the operation of what I had already purchased (contract). The older version allows access to previous emails without accessing the internet (Privacy when traveling) not to mention drag and drop attachments along with the ability to copy emails onto an external drive and then being able to open and read them without opening Outlook.

Good luck and hopefully we can ensure that New and Improved means additional functions not less.

Nothing is free. When they decide to fix something that isn't broken it assists them (Microsoft) to receive more information about the users than that information is then sold. There is no benefit for you, you're just a number somewhere.

I've been avoiding installing the new version. Somehow, today, it got installed anyway. "Hate" is not too strong a word! I'm not enthused about the idea of taking the time to uninstall this version and try to find the one I was using earlier this morning. Maybe it's easier to just find another email provider. If possible, one that realizes email is a tool to perform a function and it's a waste of time to have to relearn something just because someone somewhere decided to fix something that wasn't broken.

I had the same problem and think the "New" program is not great.

However, you can still use copy paste if you use the keyboard shortcut commands of "control C" (copy) "control V" (Paste).

So you select the file in the folder (or multiple files) hit the "control" key and "C" key at the same time, then go to you remail in the body message area and click the left mouse button, so the curser is flashing there. Then hit the "control" key and "V" key on the keyboard at the same time.
