Right click paste not working in Outlook 365

Question

I am operating Office 365 email on Windows 10.

When I compose an email, the program will allow me to right click and copy words. But it will not allow me to right click and paste words. It gives me only the option to paste an emoji.

I also cannot find the paste icon at the top of Microsoft 365 to use that function.

I tried to upload a screenshot but it won't go through.

Answer 1

I can't copy and paste links from the browser to an email or copy text from email to another email. This is a major glitch that needs to be fixed.

Answer 2

The "To" and "CC" lines and the subject line allows it, but not the body of the email. Ridiculous.

Also, I can use the edit menu from the browser and Ctrl + V but not right click. Please fix this.

Answer 3

same problem today. They try all this fancy stuff and muck up the basics all the time

Answer 4

This started happening to us a few days ago. I re-started the computer and it fixed it but now it seems permanent.

The only way to part fix it is by changing the email setting from html to plain - not ideal at all.

Answer 5

seeing the same issue, Right click works for "copy" but not "paste"- extremely frustrating. Hopeful MSFT can acknowledge and resolve
