I've switched to the new version of Outlook but autocorrect isn't on and I can't work out how to turn it on. There is no 'file' option in the new version of Outlook which is where it used to be in previous versions.

    Like many people I do not understand why MS has taken away auto-correct that has worked across office for many years now.

    Personally I am reverting to "old" Outlook since this works with auto correct.

    Very frustrating to have MS attempt to force a downgrade in usability like this... I also note that after this thread is getting on for being 18 months old & there has been no MS response on this thread so I assume that this is part of some (expensive/evil/other?) master plan to try force us into something else in the future?

    Very very poor.

    I agree with this request. Where is the option to enter our own commonly misspelled words for autocorrection? My organization has a 36 character name, and communications commonly include names of our partner organizations, which are also lengthy. With Classic Outlook I'd set multiple autocorrections by entering the first 6-7 letters and autocorrect completed the phrase or word. Same for lengthy email addresses. One of my 2 primary email domains has 32 characters (51 characters in the full address), and misspellings cause enormous issues resulting in bounce back errors for our clients. In the New Outlook, users (currently) cannot establish autocorrections of their own, and this has resulted in a large reduction in productivity for me personally, as I receive and send over 200 emails every day. When will users be able to enter their own autocorrections again in New Outlook?

    Joining this thread to see if Microsoft gives any updates on this feature. Agree with all the posts here on how much time is wasted with this feature not being available.
