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'm sure you're telling me something important but could you please rephrase it in Luddite-speak?
There is another simple solution, which amusingly reflects in the desktop app using exchange, run the on line outlook app. It allows cut and paste with no issues. Also the Android app also works with no problems
Hi all,

Doc then send it save and share a little long winded but it works
We're screwed
That's an awful lot of work for something that used to be a simple copy & paste.
