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.

    Control + V will allow you to paste as before.

    Right click, copy, Control + V.

    The new Outlook I'm sorry to say simply STINKS.

    No copy and paste. WHO THE HECK DID YOU OBSERVE USING MAIL?

    IDIOTS! DUMB. Inexcusable. Ridiculous. Plain dang STUPID.

    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!

    I have had outlook same email for 15 years. I know with the new changes on the copy and paste, I will be looking for another email. This is unacceptable. I do not get why they want to fix something that is not broke. I know it is not you that made this change, but you sure could be our voice and let your higher up know how un-happy we all are with the new changes. Thanks
