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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I totally agree. i was using teh new version as we are trialling Copilot. i have now switched back to the old outlook
I find this beyond puzzling, why an extremely helpful and time-saving autocorrect feature that was already part of the program be completely eliminated and changed to a spellcheck editor to be completed afterwards. And it is only able to be turned on in individual new emails and not able to be applied globally to all new emails? That is even worse. Not only were no improvements made, it is functionally moving backwards.
In my office we use SEVERAL acronyms on a regular basis. Having the autocorrect feature capitalize these and correct common misspellings is a big gain for productivity. I had hoped that this feature would be available when I chose to sync my Microsoft 365 settings, thus using the same autocorrect list from word. I do hope this feature will be revived.
Thank you
Not having AutoCorrect in one of the most widely used mail apps is shocking quite honestly.
It makes absolutely zero sense. I'm highly annoyed as my company requires us to use Outlook.
Hello Tom HEX_200
Thank you for your response, we are happy to provide further assistance.
In the New Outlook, Editor is where all language related checks and corrections are carried out. It needs to be active/open for it to do its job.
With that being said, we would love to hear your concern as a suggestion in Microsoft Feedback Portal for Outlook. I believe that your suggestion is constructive and it could make the use of Outlook even better. We will surely raise your concerns with our Product Development Team and hopefully, this can be included in future updates. Please note new Outlook is still in active development, right now 65 features are in development and 20 more have started to be rolled out. To check for upcoming features On Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365.
Our Product Development Team is committed to enhancing the customer experience by continually examining suggestions to include in the design and development of future product upgrades based on your suggestions. Hopefully, your suggestion will help many users in the future.
