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 agree. Autocorrect is in itself AUTO Correct. The extra step is stupid

    I've just started at a new company and need to use the new outlook. Can you please advise when autocorrect will be added?

    I send a lot of emails and use this function to quickly add text.

    For example I would previously type KR and the text would autocorrect to Kind Regards

    SS would add my name - Samantha.

    Can you advise when this VERY USEFUL function will be added to New Outlook?

    Like many have said, it is very frustrating to not have this available to use.

    I am enjoying the other features but this is a huge let down and I would change back to old outlook if I had the option.

    It has been almost a year and autocorrect/spellcheck is not working still. Please get this going...

    In the old Outlook, I would use autocorrect to cover some mathematic symbols that I insert frequently, such as ±, °, ≈, π and other Greek letters, etc. Looking things up in the "Character Map" or using the strange alt codes isn't at all acceptable. When I was communicating with some German folk, I would also use the autocorrect to rapidly deploy ö, ä, ß and... Unlike some others, I can go back to the OLD version of Outlook until you work this out!!
