Spell check on "new" outlook does not work anymore when right clicking - change it back!

I mostly use only my keyboard to type, the dropdown option on the keyboard makes it extremely convenient to access the spell check options. This is a right click function, since changing it to left click this functionality has been lost.

Having to stop typing and using the mouse to left click every time is iritating and frankly a waste of time / disruptive. It makes no sense to change a function that has been a staple since the start of spellchecking without providing an option to change it back!!

    It does work, you just don't right click. Instead, left click. It took me a bit to find too. A bit frustrating at first.

    • Open new outlook
    • go to 'settings' and click, which is located in the top right conner.
    • go to General and then go to 'privacy and data'
    • go down in 'privacy and data' to find 'Privacy settings'
    • click 'privacy settings'
    • go down to find "Turn on experiences that analyze your content"

    Then the Editor will be activated so that you can check spell and grammar.

    I have asked it through 'help' and then 'support' in new outlook menu.

    No. You need to go further down in privacy setting, then there is 'connected experiences'. Turn on experiences that analyze your content.

    I hope it works in this time.

    I can't get below this, notice no scroll bar or other method is on screen at this point.
