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.

If that is true then the Outlook team failed to understand that eliminating this feature does the opposite of improving the user experience. This was a bad decision. Bring back the right click to correct spelling and grammar.

Hi,

I would just like to join in the chorus of frustration...

I decided to give new Outlook a go and while there are always stumbling blocks with new interfaces I keep thinking no I just need to get used to it... I have also just discovered that synonyms has disappeared from the right click which is another really helpful update. I have to say this is the one thing that will send me back to old style.

Oh and guess what I just found out... In this very box it is right click to fix a spelling mistake, what do you know...

Fail to understand the reasoning except just to annoy people or some dumb idea that Microsoft thinks will differentiate them from others, well you succeeded with that and not for the better.

Good luck!

I did get a direct response some time ago.

I was told that this was done to provide a better user experience.

They are not ignoring this matter. They believe that they are doing the right thing.

The people that have to use their products, and suffer the consequences are saying otherwise, but they feel that they know what is best for us.

Has anyone from MS replied yet? I find it incredible that such a large company can completely ignore customer requirements. Doesn't bode well!

I'm afraid all the Outlook Team have done is make the user experience worse.

When will this be switched back tot he industry standard right click / when will the option to toggle this become available?

This falls far below what we should be able to expect of Microsoft.
