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.

    Joining so I can get any updates from this thread.

    I second this response - My partner is dyslexic and has grown into a role where he relies on email more and more. I was in the process of trying to help figure out how to create an auto-correct list of his commonly mis-spelt words and absolutely shocked to learn that this feature has not been included in the new outlook. Downright ridiculous. Technology should be making these things MORE accessible, not going backwards.

    I myself have stuck with the original outlook as the new one just was not hitting the mark on many other levels. I might consider switching if and when they have all of the basic functionality sorted, agree with the other comments saying that it has been prematurely released.

    Why would Microsoft think this would be preferred to the previous method? This alone makes the whole new outlook borderline worthless. Why would I want to spend MORE time than less? Come on Microsoft, think of the end users!!
