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.

    I'd like to retract my thank you thank you.
    I've been able to correct so at least the first word of a sentence is auto corrected, but nothing else.
    i remains i
    london remains london

    While you can add stuff to the dictionary you can't actually build custom words like cihr (CIHR) etc.
    and if the editor must be on to show corrections needed, why isn't it on by default?

    crazy and i've spent too much time on this today

    OMG

    Yes that works! Thank you for this tip.
    I don't know if it wasn't there before, or if I just wasn't able to find it, but yes it works.

    Thank you thank you

    but here you can't make your 'own' auto correct rules like

    example:

    ad1 ---> I'd like to thank you for your message...
