How to stop autoformat and autocorrect in New Outlook for Mac

Hi laker

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Q&A Forum and for sharing the details of your issue. 

I understand how frustrating and inconvenient it can be when Outlook continues to automatically change your text even after you've disabled all of the available spelling, typing, and prediction settings. 

I tested this on my end using the same Outlook version (16.110), but I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior. Based on my testing, Outlook worked as expected. 

According to Microsoft's documentation, the available settings to disable AutoCorrect in New Outlook for Mac are the ones described here: Turn AutoCorrect on or off in Outlook for Mac | Microsoft Support 

From your screenshots, it appears you've already completed all of those steps. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any additional settings or documented options that would disable the behavior you're experiencing. 

In the meantime, you could try the following troubleshooting steps: 

1.Update Outlook to the latest version if you haven't already.  

2.If your organization's IT policy allows it, reinstall Outlook:  

-Open any Office app, then go to Help > Check for Updates, and clear the Automatically keep Microsoft Apps up to date checkbox.  

-Quit all Office apps.  

-Open the Applications folder, select Microsoft Outlook, and move it to the Trash.  

-Reinstall Outlook from the official update history page: Update history for Office for Mac - Office release notes | Microsoft Learn   

3.Create a new macOS user profile and test whether the same behavior occurs there.
