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.

David, Thank you for answering. However, this just confirms what I've gotten from other source. I am outragged that MicroS can allow such blunder of not able to take away a very basic copy paste on the New Outlook. My business in Real estate development, as many others, count on multi tasking and quicly pivoting information instantly and easily is what we depend to get on to the next tasks. Now, the one feature that we depend on to do our job is taken away for no reason that I can see. The people that development these program are not street people and they do things in a vacume and have no pragmatic experience.

If this is the only email that answers my question then it is pretty laim. My last resort is to ask if there is anyway I can re-install my Old Outlook version into my PC and work seamlessly with the 356 Office apps? Or if MicroS is planning to redesign this problem and reissue the app....not likely. Either way, this has taken me 2 working days to find this out after searching with Geeksquad, and they don't have an immediate answers. I hope you have better answer than the nice email you sent me. I am very frustrated.

regards, Don

Hi Don, I understand your frustration however I am not at liberty to say whether or not Microsoft will make these changes and I’m sorry that Microsoft couldn’t complete the actions you desired

If you're looking to reinstall an older version of Office 365, it's important to note that Microsoft typically encourages users to stay up-to-date with the latest version for security and compatibility reasons. Reinstalling an older version may not be recommended or officially supported.

However, if you have a specific reason for needing an older version, you can try the following steps:

1. Uninstall the current version of Office 365 from your computer.
2. Search for the specific older version of Office 365 that you want to install.
3. Download the installer for that older version from a trusted source.
4. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the older version.

Keep in mind that using older versions of Office 365 may limit your access to the latest features, updates, and security patches. It's generally recommended to use the latest version to ensure the best experience.

I’m glad I was able to help, thanks Don.

Kindly leave positive feedback.

David, Yes, your answer is positively accepted and I will try using the older version. For that I thank you. I do not regret sharing my opinion on the New outlook app., it remains a big mistake.

Best Don

I have to agree, the Snipping tool is another huge blunder. They attempted to copy Adobe with no success. As an investigator that relies on gathering information from many sources it is frustrating that the previous versions were superior to this "upgrade" The MS engineers should hire capable people that understand workflow.
