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 do not see an autocorrect option in the new outlook. If it's being forced on me, it should be an option. I find it very useful to reduce time spent typing!

    I am noticing a lot of threads on the Auto-Correct topic. Most of the answers are not addressing the real problem. Auto-Correct functionality has been left out of NEW Outlook. All of the training that we have done for the words that we can't spell or the Acronyms our company uses have been let behind when setting were transferred and there is no functionality planned or otherwise available for us to replace it with.

    I am moderately dyslexic I have a list of about 30 words that I haven't learned to spell properly in 50 years and am unlikely to learn before I die. It is a disabilities and Auto-Correct has been working for me as a tool that I don't have to ask my employer to provide for me. This tool has allowed me to advance in my career because once trained it just fixes those words automatically. I have been annoyed that Teams does not use my auto-correct dictionary for the last couple of years but endured because perfectly correct messages are not as mandatory as in more formal emails and I thought that eventually you would get that added in.

    Is it an ADA violation when a software vendor removes functionality that thousands of disabled people rely on? I am one of those high functioning adults that rely on things like auto correct to not appear illiterate.
