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.

    I also noticed that inability to copy and paste using the mouse, but I figured out that if you copy your link as normal, then you open your email, right click the mouse and then hit ctrl-v and the link will be pasted!

    Thanks Rich, I am copying and pasting vis Ctr C and Ctr V. I do not know what you mean by doing it by Signature. Thanks for looking into this.

    Hi Don ,

    I'm not totally at home with tech but at one point I desperately wanted to achieve this and found a work-around by smuggling in the 'copy and paste' as a signature .
    
    It does entail scrubbing it again at some point but gets past the problem of incorporating the text you want into the mail .
    
    Like you and many others of us it seems a very retrograde development - I'll not hazard a guess as to why it was allowed or why it has not been rectified .
    
    Best wishes , Rich

    Thanks. Now can you tell me how to get Microsoft to stop arbitrarily dropping my emails into my Junk email? I have to go through it daily to recover emails I actually need.
