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.

    Whats the point of having it tell you something is spelled wrong if it wont help you fix it?

    I haven't added to my original post of almost a year ago, but it beggars belief that Microsoft don't bother to reply to any of these complaints. Surely they could tweak new Outlook to incorporate the very useful features from the previous version?

    As much as i like to be on the bleeding edge of technology, this is one case where i wish they could give us a choice to stay on Old Outlook. I absolutely hate the new Outlook .

    I have been an Outlook user since it was first launched July 1996.

    Or when you accidentally type "TEam" "ANd". Super annoying...... Old outlook would correct this FOr you.

    I use autocorrect to spell out full text of acronyms we often use as well as a shortcut for commonly repeated items such as "rg" for "Regards," for example.

    To leave this feature out and consider it an improvement is criminal. There's a special place in hell for whoever thought this was a good idea.
