AUTOCORRECT-ONENOTE: FOR GODS SAKE PROVIDE AN OPTION TO TURN IT OFF!!

Hi toph95,

Have you tried disabling it manually in the OneNote app options? If not, click on File > Options > Proofing > under When Correcting Spelling in OneNote > unchecked the box for Check spelling as you type and Check grammar with spelling options. We suggest that you also check these links for more suggestions to disable other AutoCorrect options:

Add, edit, or turn off automatic corrections

Choose AutoCorrect options for capitalization, spelling, and symbols

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

I have the same issue with AutoCorrect on OneNote.  I am familiar in all other Office365 applications how to change autocorrect settings.  The version of OneNote that I am using in Office365 doesn't have a File menu, so I can't go to File > Options.

My ribbons only include Home, Insert, Draw, and View.  There is a settings menu with an options category that lets me turn off AutoCorrecting the first letter capitalization, but that's the only option I appear to be able to change.

I'm using OneNote Version 16001.11425.20094.0

Genevieve,

Exactly what "File > Options > Proofing" are you talking about? Microsoft trashed the Office 2016/365 OneNote (which had those options) in favor of it's "new, improved, but with less functionality" OneNote for Windows 10. Instead of "have you tried..." things which no longer exist, how about...

• Have you tried reading toph95's question so you can answer for the current version of OneNote so you don't point to links which do not deal with the program?
• Have you tried doing your recommended solution in OneNote before answering?

I came across this thread trying to find a solution to the same problem. For every © symbol I need, I need a (c) subparagraph indicator about 1,000 times.

If the answer is, "sorry, you can't. Microsoft doesn't believe you need to do that, so it removed your ability to make those changes,"  so be it. But please avoid the all-to-common "I'll make up my own question and answere that one because I don't have an answer to yours."

As noted, you have the "new & (dis-)improved" OneNote UWP. 

The "Options" control has been moved from the removed File menu item.  

On the right side of the ribbon, click on the (unnamed/elipsis) 3 dots icon > click on Settings > click on Options > scroll down.  That being said, the only autocorrect option is for capitalization. Sorry.

You have 2 options:

1. submit a feedback to MS complaining about this missing feature
2. install OneNote 2016 again. (yes that is a real option)
