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.

Sadly, there's 'nothing behind that switch' :-(. On or Off, my auto text entries that work perfectly in word, PowerPoint etc. steadfastly refuse to appear in Outlook online.
Same here. :(

I was having the same issue as everyone else , coming to this thread to try and resolve it and I think I have found the solution,
Once the 'Editor' is open, at the bottom there is a spot to Click, Customize your editor and then a pop up comes up where you can enable Auto Correct.
Totally agree - MS clearly hasn't taken the most basic steps to listen to its users when "upgrading" this App. Total joke - I'm now less productive as a result. Come on MS - show us you're listening, please.
Like many people I do not understand why MS has taken away auto-correct that has worked across office for many years now.
Personally I am reverting to "old" Outlook since this works with auto correct.
Very frustrating to have MS attempt to force a downgrade in usability like this... I also note that after this thread is getting on for being 18 months old & there has been no MS response on this thread so I assume that this is part of some (expensive/evil/other?) master plan to try force us into something else in the future?
Very very poor.
