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.

2025-07-09T20:00:58+00:00 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.

2025-02-05T14:35:04+00:00 Same here - Word I added mvrgr = Met vriendelijke groet, it works in Word, but when using mvrgr in Outlook, nothing appears - so also not working for me sadly
@microsoft, please make priority and solve this issue!
