New Outlook - Auto Capitalization

Thanks for the response. I switched back to Outlook Classic and all is well. Except for one thing,: I cold not change the reply to emails from New Outlook to the classic version under the default programs section. When calendar appointments etc which come from MS are received, they default to the new version. Not a horrible situation, as long as you recognize that is what is happening, it is not so hard to deal with. It is a small PIA that just takes some getting used to.

this is ridiculous! why on earth would auto-cap not be in the new Outlook? I just tried to find the settings to do it and came up empty. Guess i know why now.

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

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.

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'.
