New Outlook - Auto Capitalization

Hi MaseDubb,

Here is a Dropbox link to my rather pathetic video. But it shows New Outlook auto-cap'ing the first letter of each new sentence. It does not capitalize if two spaces are typed after the period. And it does not capitalize the letter i by itself. Other than that, it works every time for me.

Not sure why it's working for me and not you.

I'll let you know when my new computer comes in next week. I think that I might be able to revert to the Classic Outlook and see if that might be the ticket.

I highly doubt your Outlook 365 aka Outlook (new) is auto capitalizing as you say it is. There is the setting in Microsoft Editor Settings after clicking the ellipsis (...) in the ribbon bar, "Enable auto capitalization" but that does not work (as others have said). This setting was enabled by default so I'm sure it is enabled on every user's Outlook (new) and yet, there are pages and pages of users responding who have this exact issue.

I'm not sure if you aren't understanding what all of us are referring to when we say that Outlook would always capitalize the first letter of the first word on a line after we press Enter (new line). It does not do this in Outlook 365 despite the setting that someone pointed out and I referred to above: 'Enable auto capitalization'

If it works for you would you mind posting a video of Outlook (new) capitalizing the first letter of the first word on a line after you press Enter?

I just returned from the Best Buy store. I gave it back to them. I just now ordered a new surface laptop only available on the ms business site with a non Snapdragon processor. It was $2700, but should be functional. I am glad i kept my surface pro 7. I do wish new ones had an sd slot like this one has. Having a 1 tb sd card in that slot has saved me a lot of confusion as I have terrible internet service at home and the ability to retain documents locally is a bonus. Thanks for your sympathy :-)

AHH mate, if you have the option of returning the Surface, I would do that and get something else!!

My work has issued me one and it's absolutely awful!! I'm technically on my third one in less than a year as had so many issues in the first six months. They do not manage heat or power particularly well, especially when using it whilst it is on a soft surface (e.g in hotel room, sitting on a bed with it on your lap).

Regarding (new) outlook... It's still dog ****... Not just for auto capitalisation ... I hear because it's very much cloud based, it does not perform well at all.

I wish you luck!!
