Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
I have no "paperclip icon" in my New Outlook?
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.

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.

WHAT AN EPIC FAIL. MICROSOFT CAN YOU HEAR US.
THIS IS A FAIL FOR THOSE QUICKLY TRYING TO MULTIFUNCTION.
I agree! Why change something that isn't broken? Does Microsoft need to give their employees some busy work? Please stop with the changes.
