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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I use autocorrect to spell out full text of acronyms we often use as well as a shortcut for commonly repeated items such as "rg" for "Regards," for example.

    To leave this feature out and consider it an improvement is criminal. There's a special place in hell for whoever thought this was a good idea.
