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.

Never mind documents. I cannot seem to be able to copy & paste plain text from (for example) notepad++ into an email without wrestling with the Copilot doohickey. Ctrl-V doesn't consistently work. Right-clicking to get a context menu to paste takes several tries. This has been basic Windows behavior going back to Windows 95 at least. Select something, Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V. I can do it in my sleep. Why is it so hard now?

And whoever said DEI is to blame can go jump in a lake.

Good luck. I think tech slows us down as much as it helps. Tonight at 9pm I am on with PC support with India. LOL Here I go with chatting via email back and forth. I am so excited to burn more of my time...... They should improve and not take well know functions away with upgrades, But MSFT has to keep selling stuff even when in many ways it's not needed for majority of users.

I was able to downgrade to "Classic" outlook and it works as expected

I am so disappointed. I can't believe that the great and powerful Microsoft, the 800-pound gorilla in the room, has taken classic outlook and botched it up so badly with this new outlook. So many things don't work properly.

I am having the same problem because I build tables to quote customers pricing in Word and then try to copy/paste it to an email. The rows expand to three times the original size and the and there's nothing I can do about it.

And designing and building templates? forget about it. If you need to embed graphics into the email like a line card or price list, you simply can't do it. The 'my templates' app

gives you a tiny little space to put your content in. You should be able to open an email, set it up as if you were using a page layout program and then simply save it as a template.

I pay yearly for Microsoft 365, And this is really sad. I'm sure they thought they road tested this to make sure everything was cool, but they should have spent a little more time seeing if people would be happy with it the way it is.

I had to give up classic outlook. I was forced to... suddenly page formatting stopped working altogether, the cursor would start in the middle of the page with the wrong font, and there was no way I could put it back to the left side. I didn't realize how the basic function of my email program had become such an integral part of my operation.
