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.
but here you can't make your 'own' auto correct rules like
example:
ad1 ---> I'd like to thank you for your message...
OMG
Yes that works! Thank you for this tip.
I don't know if it wasn't there before, or if I just wasn't able to find it, but yes it works.
Thank you thank you
how to add your own auto correction rules by using this editor option area?
I'd like to retract my thank you thank you.
I've been able to correct so at least the first word of a sentence is auto corrected, but nothing else.
i remains i
london remains london
While you can add stuff to the dictionary you can't actually build custom words like cihr (CIHR) etc.
and if the editor must be on to show corrections needed, why isn't it on by default?
crazy and i've spent too much time on this today
This is ridiculous. How could Microsoft launch a New Outlook that does not allow for autocorrect based on the same files Word uses? My new Surface may be faster, but it takes me more time to construct an email because my personal autocorrect changes, such as shortcuts, and even automatically capitalizing i does not work. This needs IMMEDIATE attention.
Moreover, why does my Surface freeze up while typing at times? For some unknown reason this superfast computer just stops when i'm creating an email, or even typing this reply, and i have to wait until it "catches up". Too many bugs to work out and i feel like i'm the guinea pig for Microsoft
