Outlook 2016 - Insert tab disappearing.

    If I click Reply in the main Outlook window, the Insert tab is visible and the option to attach a file to the message I'm replying to is easy.


    But, if I attach a file to my reply, the Insert tab then disappears. So, I can't attach a second file.

    How can I keep (or make reappear) the Insert tab on the Outlook ribbon?


    Many thanks.

    Version of Outlook ?
    Do you have "attach" options in Message tab?

    Version is 2016.

    It doesn’t happen all the time.

    If I click new email, it appears in the Insert tab and stays there, regardless of how many attachments.

    It only disappears when I click reply and then attach something- but, not every time.

    Odd.

    Thanks for the reply.

    There was few glitches since last updates with deferred mail - fix was removing account from outlook and adding again
    Had not come across ribbon items disappearing.
