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 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.
I am actually completely unaware where any of those window/settings are in outlook...
How do I customize the list of words I'd like auto corrected? I could do this with autocorrect. For example, typing ms I turned into MicroSoft, since I used it often and didn't want to type the letters and caps. If it worked so easily in autocorrect, carry the functionality forward please.
So squiggly little red line,,, and those people who are colour blind????
I have those enabled but AutoCorrect is still not working.
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.
Thank you for your time and understanding. For other questions, feel free to add your post to the Microsoft Community team.

Hi, I have enabled auto correct in the New Outlook editor settings, but it does not work at all. Tried everything I can think of: multiple times disabling / enabling auto correct again, restarting, booting. On the Classic Outlook it works just fine, as well as in Word, Excel, PowerPoint. I cannot use the New Outlook until auto correct works. And while you are at it, please finally bring the same auto correct to Teams, as well. Thanks!!!!
