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.

Thank you for telling us that we can still use Control C to copy and Control V to paste from a Word document into an email in the New (Horrible New) Outlook. I spent hours today googling how to do a simple copy and paste from Word into a New Outlook email and never found the solution you said we could still do. Never found any solution that worked or made sense, until your response. It is mind boggling and infuriating that one can't still do what I was trying to do and have done for decades, highlighting what I wanted to copy and then doing a right-click to paste into the email. What sadistic SOB decided to not let us do that anymore!
hi Don
you can still use the CTRL C to copy and CTRL V to paste
hope this helps
I used to be able to click and drag an email to a Personal folder (computer or external storage device) in one simple move but no longer able to do so. Every time that I try, without success, it will freeze Outlook requiring a restart of the computer.
I was not provided a warning prior to "New Office" being installed along with my previous version being deleted from my computer.
I have a yearly contract with Microsoft and would have expected that a New Office would be a better version than the previous. not the opposite.
Seems evident that your engineers/programmers never have to actually used the product in a real-world environment.
If I am missing something and there is a way of accomplishing this task, please advise and I will apologize for my negative reply.
