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.

    If you use the web based version of outlook at the following web address "https://outlook.live.com/", everything works as normal

    No, everything is NOT 'as normal'. This version has reduced the email font size to a 5 or 6. Barely readable. The rest of the page, the folders & files, the addressee, are all 'normal' but not the email content.

    The only solution I have found, is to access outlook through your web browser i.e. Google, Edge, Safari etc. If you use the web address https://outlook.live.com/ that will take you to Outlook on line. I have found this version allows full cut and paste. Hope that helps
