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

Found this solution on another thread. Go to the word and press ALT + Down. Using Outlook on Windows. For Mac I use Shift + F10.
Unsure if this is directly related. I can left click on a misspelled word and get spellcheck suggestions. However, when I click on a misspelled word, it does not let me type while the spellcheck menu is open. So, if the word you meant to type is not one of the options in the spellcheck menu, you have to click out of the word and maneuver yourself back to the word to correct it manually. This is insanely tedious and unintuitive.
Completely agree - I don't need AI to which doesn't pick up the NZ accent anyway... but I do need spell check.
Hello team,
Initially when I installed this new outlook I was able to use autocorrect maybe between Jan 2024 and April 2024, but for the past moth I started to have the same issue as others have mentioned here. It seems as this is an ongoing problem that has ben going on for over an year now.
Could someone please look into it?
This is ridiculous. I use this functionality all day and now its gone in the "improved" version. Do the workers in Microsoft actually use their own product? And you replaced this useful option with the ability to add an emoji??? This is what happens when there is a lack of competition.
