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.

Firestorm, thank you for your post...
Maybe a correction is made, but most of us are looking for "auto-completement" as it's a function of "the autocorrect".
f.e.
You type "tbh" and the editor completes it to "to be honest"
or
"syl" -> see you later
I am trying to find the nicest way possible to critique this post. While I am happy that you are posting in support of this feature being rewritten in the new version, reframing the request the way you did feels very ableist to me. As if it isn't a legitimate function if user need it to spell, but if they just use the functionality to save time by having short cuts for long phrases, it is somehow a better reason to have the functionality.
Your comment didn't change the way the functionality works, it only adds an additional way to use it. A perfectly good way to use it, but not a better or more important way. It is great to have multiple uses for the same functionality, but it is not great to imply judgement about the different reasons. I wish I had a less public way to mention this to you. I am sure that you just didn't realize the way that your message sounded.
I had to turn it on manually. if you are in that new "Editor window, scroll to the bottom and click "Customize your editor" under settings on the right, and check Enable Auto Correct and Enable Auto Capitalization.
You are probably right, english is not my language

I am so sorry. I absolutely didn't get an English isn't my language vibe. The US has so many folks judgmental against people with disabilities. I have spent a life time struggling with spelling and tools like auto-correct make me sound as professional as I try to be. I guess yesterday was my day to over react to life.
