New Outlook - Auto Capitalization

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.

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.

Thanks @CraigT61. I see what you're saying now. Yes, mine behaves the same way as what you showed in your video. It's weird that it doesn't work with 2 spaces after the period. I almost always use 2 spaces after the period.

So, as long as you press space after you type something, it will capitalize it as long as there aren't 2 spaces before the word you want capitalized. This is not the issue that I was referring to because I'm pretty good about capitalizing my sentences myself but sometimes when I'm typing my name in my signature on a new line after "Thanks,", I would type it too fast and the first letter of my name wouldn't be capitalized but by pressing 'Enter', it would capitalize it on the old Outlook. I guess, now all I need to do is hit space after I type my name when that happens. Thank you for the video and explanation! Still sucks that it doesn't work with 2 spaces and that it doesn't capitalize 'i'.

I am not happy at all at the change that Microsoft are doing, like doing away with auto capitalisation.

it needs to be reinstated.

quite frankly I prefer the previous version of outlook.

Thank you.

I tried this and it did not work for me. Is there an update in the works to fix this?
