Outlook Exchange Cut & Paste

more options

Just recently I started having a problem with Firefox when accessing my Microsoft Outlook Exchange via your web browser. When I right click in the body of a new or response email, the drop down menu only gives me the first 3 options "EMOJI", "COPY" and "CUT". It doesn't continue to provide the "PASTE" and "PASTE WITH TEXT ONLY" options. This only happens in the body of the email, not the subject line or "TO" lines. It also only happens with one specific account login - [email]@christ-the-lord.org and only in Firefox. If I login with a different Microsoft account, the issue isn't there. If I use another browser, the issue isn't there. But if I login with this same account on another computer, the issue is in both places, again just with Firefox, restricted to the body of the email in Outlook exchange web login.

I can only assume that this account has some type of safety feature turned on that is preventing the ability to cut and paste into the body of the email, but I cannot figure out what it is. My IT guy doesn't know what would be causing this either. I tried refreshing Firefox. It didn't help but this also doesn't explain why the same thing is happening on different computers. Any suggestions?

Does it make any difference if you clear the message completely? Just wondering whether the signature block could be an issue.

Also, do any of these methods work?

Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+V (regular paste)
  • Ctrl+Shift+V (text-only paste)

Firefox's context menu -- hold the Shift key when right-clicking to get the built-in menu

  • Paste
  • Paste without Formatting (suppressed when only plain text can be pasted)
