Outlook - Spellcheck moved from right click to left click
In the last week, the spell check option in my Office 365 Outlook has changed from the right click to the left click. I am assuming this was some kind of update to Office. The change hasn't occurred ...

To revert the spell-check option in Office 365 Outlook back to right-click:
Open Outlook.
Go to File > Options.
In the Outlook Options dialog box, select Mail.
Scroll down to the section labeled "Compose messages" and click on the Spelling and Autocorrect... button.
In the Editor Options dialog box, go to the Proofing section.
Uncheck the box that says "Enable proofing using left-click".
Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog boxes.
This should restore the spell-check option to right-click in Office 365 Outlook.

Devon Harding - There isn't any such option in the new Outlook! (At least not any that I can find!)

Mine is the same, no option. Is bloomin frustrating.
