I have switched over to the "New Outlook" and some functions did not switch over also. How do I turn on the auto capitalization of the 1st word of a sentence? How do I turn back on auto capitalizing the letter i? Thank you for any help!!!!

    Dear Laura Alsum,

    Based on my test, i found that the same result as yours. I'm afraid that this feature is not available in New Outlook preview. Please kindly understand that many functions of our current products are designed and upgraded according to customer feedback. At present, what I can do for you is to provide a workaround. Based on my tests, you can try to use below method to capitalize the letter i:

    You can change the case of selected text in an email message by clicking the Change Case button.

    1. Select the text for which you want to change the case.
    2. On the Format Text tab, in the Font group, click Change Case.
    3. Choose an option from the list, which includes Sentence case, lowercase, UPPERCASE, Capitalize Each Word, and tOGGLE cASE.
    4. Choose Sentence case. Then the letter i will change to I.

    Notes: 

    • You can also change case by using a keyboard shortcut, press SHIFT+F3 until the style you want is selected.

    This really needs to be fixed. A stand Alone i is ALWAYS capitalized.

    As is the first word of every sentence,

    PLEASE FIX THIS.

    It is basic grammar, not a feature, needs to be sorted!

    To call this a "feature" is disingenuous at best. This is a MISTAKE and it needs to be fixed. Now.
