This tutorial shows you 2 features of Microsoft 2016. AutoComplete and AutoCorrect. I show you a few shortcuts of how to use these while you write papers, and even a way to use AutoCorrect to reduce the amount of time you spend typing. I hope that you enjoy this video, please like and subscribe.
I have so far disabled all auto-correct functions on Outlook’s “Preferences” pane, yet, it continues to auto-correct my emails resulting in very bizarre sentences. I have to review every email to make sure it hasn’t completely changed the intent of my words. I’ve called support and they say I’ve done everything correctly; it shouldn’t be auto-correcting! Microsoft hates Apple and only grudgingly makes software for us.
You can access the AutoCorrect dialog box shown in Figure 1 as per instructions explained in our AutoCorrect Options in PowerPoint 2016 tutorial. Alternatively, right-click any misspelled word on your slide, and click Spelling from the resultant contextual menu.
I’m now convinced that they purposely insert glitches to make it always inferior to the Windows product (I work with both and the Win version is much better). This version of Outlook is the single worst word processing program I have ever used and I have been using Microsoft word processing programs for over 20 years. They have disabled the ‘home’ and ‘end’ keys, the program re-formats text into different fonts and sizes randomly, you can’t separate emails with commas and if you did do so it formats all the email addresses into one long string which you cannot separate, and today when I tried typing a time into the email message it used the colon and then later an underscore as some sort of hotkey that made it so I could not continue typing but had to click back on the message box.
AND it can’t even properly sort or find emails. It won’t show email addresses onscreen until you click directly on the email and tell it to show the contact so it’s difficult and frustrating to figure out the email address of a contact. Even when ‘sort by date’ is clicked it still doesn’t do it you have to make it sort by date by clicking the option twice. I HATE this program. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I truly believe Microsoft intentionally created a bad program for Macintosh users. They had to remove these options on purpose to make it such a crappy program. Start with a new email.
Put the cursor in the body of this new email. Then go to EDITSPELLING & GRAMMAR.
You can uncheck “Correct Spelling Automatically” and check “Check Spelling While Typing”. Then save the email and quit the program and restart. Any new emails will always show “Check Spelling While Typing” when you go to EDITSPELLING & GRAMMAR. If you ever want to change this setting you have to start a new email, save that email, quit the program and start it up again. Otherwise, EDITSPELLING & GRAMMAR will show a faded “Correct Spelling Automatically” and YOU CAN’T CHANGE IT. MicroSoft always has been idiotic and it isn’t getting any better.
Why would anyone HIDE the OUTBOX? I have to open up the “PROGRESS” window, so I can stop an email by clicking on the tiny tiny X in the right side. I used to be able to just click on the OUTBOX and watch everything as different emails went out.
Now, i have to click the X, go down to the bottom of the screen, double click on the OUTBOX which appears WAY DOWN THERE. Then I get to see the same window that used to be always easily available. Always have been.
