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!!!!
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

September 2024 and still not fixed. It is illogical to not capitalize the first letter of a sentence and an independent 'i' - Hard to believe that this development could be as a result of customer feedback. The new version of outlook is very cumbersome
What a joke. thanks for wasting my time. i switched to new outlook only to find the auto cap doesn't work and isn't even an option..... so not only did i take the time to switch but i burned and hour messing around in settings. Thanks a lot morons!
What a joke, how cant this be when the product is going online i do not understand these software people........
Tammy, I have a question for you on the workaround you suggested above "You can change the case of selected text in an email message by clicking the Change Case button"
Does the process you explained have to be done EVERY time you start a new email or reply to an email or does it stay in place and is automatically applied to all emails once you use the "Change Case" method?
Overall, I still think the issue needs to be fixed, not sure how Microsoft released this knowing this was a flaw/error. A couple of weeks ago, I could not get Outlook to capitalize the first letter of a sentence, but now I feel like sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't, I'm seeing inconsistency. Until it's fixed permanently, I'm interested in the workaround.
Thank you!
when i tried this it only capitalized the first word of the sentence, did not capitalize the letter i.
