No spelling suggestions in the right-click menu (New Outlook for Windows)

I have had the same issue, but I have the Office 365 Outlook app actually loaded on my computer.

It happened when I switched to the new view of Outlook. I am ready to switch back to the old view due to this feature not working. I use it all the time.

It shows the spelling error, but does not provide spelling suggestions in the right click pop up menu.

I checked the editor settings and these are all turned on. I also restarted the application.

In the new Outlook for Windows, simply clicking in a word which is flagged as misspelled will display spelling suggestions.

I don't understand why Microsoft wants to annoy their users by making changes like this. I haven't used outlook in so many years but have to now because of a new client. I'm seriously considering dropping my client because this issue is so annoying.

Andrew,

You can send feedback to Microsoft. Use Help > Feedback in the new Outlook.

No it does NOT. Maybe it is supposed to. Maybe it does on your computer. But it does not work on mine, and like the original poster, all the settings are set, but it doesn't offer any spelling suggestions. It just shows some text formatting options and an option to copy the word.

Right-clicking works here in the New Outlook for Windows. Left-clicking does not seem to work at the moment.

I don't remember which version I used in July 2023.

I am currently (April 7, 2024) on version 1.2024.327.300 (Production). See the screen shot below.

I recommend that you send feedback to Microsoft through Help > Feedback.
