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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

The only solution I've found (on a MAC) is to revert to Legacy Outlook. I'm now missing out on other feature improvements but but I lose too much productivity from the lack of Auto-correct otherwise.
The auto spell correct doesn’t work. My emails are going out with misspellings. Your suggestion is to manually check each time. Worthless. The new outlook is horrible in so many ways.
it would be fine if one could turn off new outlook but it cannot be defaulted on my version. I have tried all the fixes. How can a year go by without this being fixed
When are you going to correct these basic errors? I want to return to the old outlook. Is this possible?
This is another poor design decision by Microsoft. Did anyone at Microsoft actually take the time to understand what features are widely used and why? I need autocorrect to include non-English characters in specific names as I type them. Not only did you take that capability away, you also removed the "insert symbols" button I would use as a backup to manually make these corrections. Also who is the genius that thought after 40 years of training people to right click for spell check, we will suddenly switch it to a left click in only a SINGLE app within the Microsoft Office Suite. Seriously!!!!
