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.

    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!!

    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.

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

    It is not helpful to have options for AutoCorrect within each email. It is unreasonable for me to have to type in all the words that are not in the dictionary that I might accidentally misspell, every time that I start an email. This feature is very important for people who have to type usual names and words that are not in the dictionary. When will the AutoCorrect be added back to Outlook?
