Outlook PWA, how to change spellcheck back to right click

Dear VTThomas,

Good day.

After thorough research, testing from my end, and consulting, it’s been concluded that there is no setting in Outlook or Chrome that allows you to change the spellcheck feature back to right-click. This is a design choice made by the Outlook team to improve the user experience. However, you can still access the spellcheck feature by using the keyboard shortcut "F7" or by clicking on the "ABC" icon in the formatting toolbar.

We apologize if we are not able to meet your requirements; however, thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will surely raise your concerns to our Product Team and hopefully this can be included in future updates. In the meantime, we recommend using Outlook PWA in the Microsoft Edge browser, to avoid some issues and be supported by our team easily. For other concerns, please do not hesitate to add your post in the Microsoft Community Team. Thank you for choosing Microsoft as your partner in business.

Agree that left click is 100% a step backwards i terms of user experience. Editor often suggests a word or change that is not what I want, but I am unable to actually click on the word to edit to to what I do want because it only brings up the editor box. Every other product, browser, type interface uses right click because it's better.

To those having trouble with this, you can disable editor for spelling and grammar, and this goes away, but you still retain you basic spellcheck. Just do that until they care what their users think.

The left-click popup functionality is just atrocious. I am writing, not looking at my screen . Then I want to fix some of the words. I want to move the mouse cursor inside the word and just change it. Now, because left click opens the spelling popup I archive some mail when I press the backspace key. Horrible experience. I cannot count how many emails I have archived by mistake. I have to click on the word, then click outside of the popup and then I can edit the word and even that is not working all the time. By any means, open the popup, but move the caret with the click and don't unfocus the email message box.

I just hope they don't apply this on all their other apps.

I totally agree! I can't believe all their other apps still use right click spell check but Outlook doesn't... it's infuriating!
