How do I enable copy and paste in the new outlook?

i see the same complaints but no response from Microsoft on how to remedy this issue

I agree with you regarding the New Outlook. The Outlook program is the main reason that I remained with Microsoft. The New Outlook is letting me down:

• I cannot copy and paste using right click in Contacts
• I cannot do a contact search. The search box is not showing up
• I cannot do a file retrieve to access other Outlook File in File Explorer.
• The tab "Option does not appear.
• I cannot format my text in Contacts. (The right Click does not work.)

I was forced to use the New Version because. the synchronisation in te Classic Outlook was taking up to 20 mins to complete. (It is immediate with the New Version.)

In the Old version the accented letters repeated themselves when using [ALT] and {CODE] This is working well in the New Outlook.

If there are no immediate improvements to New Outlook, I see a mass exodus to Apple . I will be very sad. I have been working with Microsoft Products since the beginning of PC's and I will be out of my comfort zone with other products, but there are limits to what one must put up with.

I agree the new outlook has removed functionality which i used everyday.

Copy a whole email to send with new email doesn't seem possible.

Spell check is left click not right click as all the other office programs. Who thought this up a Mac user?

This is an extremely poor upgrade. I will be returning to the old version. At least I can get my work done

I do need to copy and paste attachments, so if this is not available, how can i do my work.

1. The reply button is not "on the right" but on the task bar above (at least in some setups).
2. The menu that appears when the "reply" button is clicked does not include the option you say "Open in separate window"
3. Even if all that worked, it's infuriating that one can't capture and right click to copy or paste email content into or out of any email.
4. One of the biggest problems is not being able to copy an email address from some other document or from the body of an email into the Address line. This is an action that must be done very often by most users. Having to re-type an email address directly into the line is not only an inconvenience but also creates room for errors and delays in communications being received by the intended party.
5. I also can't seem to save attachments into whatever location in my files I need them - the only options offered are "download" (which automatically goes to a Download file so I have to go to that folder, then move the document to where I need to keep it); or "Save to One Drive" which has very limited storage space unless I BUY MORE, which of course is the core point. Everything is set up to make users pay more so Microsoft can make more money, and we wouldn't even have access to our own documents when the internet is down.
6. Copying attachments, and "save as" functions are critical, and "it's not feasible right now" is a ridiculous response. It's essentially the same reply to the issue of Spellcheck and Autocorrect not functioning correctly, which has been known and unsolved since at least May 2023 when early testers complained about that.

How inadequate can a company reply get? The idea that this release was put out and forced on subscribers without being functional is incompetent and unacceptable. Your weak apologies are pointless and not any help at all. Whoever is responsible for this release absolutely should be fired, and the company owes all its users more than an apology.
