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 so totally agree!! And then the nerve to ask us to pay for Word and PowerPoint, et al. And now they're saying it's an annual cost??? Thank goodness for google. The only reason I keep my hotmail account is because I've had it for over 20 years and it's the email address everyone has for me.
The updated OUTLOOK has set back this email program by several years by screwing up the simple "Copy & Paste" function. Time to use another email platform....Big Time Blunder!!!
Nothing is free. When they decide to fix something that isn't broken it assists them (Microsoft) to receive more information about the users than that information is then sold. There is no benefit for you, you're just a number somewhere.
The person who suggested the following was spot on!
With caps on, hit control v to paste what you’ve copied.
Works like a charm.
To search Sent Items to find email to a specific person, click Sent Items and then in the search bar type To:******@company.com. Or you can type their name.
