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.

    Hi all!

    I found a solution in the NEW Outlook. I was also annoyed that it was not as simple to copy paste a file as before. You will see a series of buttons above the text of the e-mail you're writing. One is called "Has attachments" with a paper clip on the side. Click on it an you will be presented with two fields: one to upload a file and another to upload/share from the cloud.

    It is as easy to copy paste as it used to!

    Hope it helps.

    Best,

    Soledad

    Thanks for responding...but that won't work - it did up to a few days ago.

    It's hugely frustrating, so if you can provide a direct email address to complain

    to them about this, it'd be much appreciated - thanks.

    Instead of right clicking your mouse, You have to use control functions.

    Highlight the subject you want to copy, use Control C and then Control V to paste.
