Anyone else hate the New Desktop Outlook?.
I just checked my new Outlook, and finally, you can highlight text in an email and right-click to reveal the Format Text menu. That feature was not available until relatively recently as I recall. But for me it's there now! However, there is no Format Paint option, which is a real pain.
Another frustrating thing is that if you mispell something in the Email Subject, it gets highlighted in red as an spelling error, but you cannot (still) right or left click to reveal spelling suggestions! Though, I just checked and actually, you cannot do that in the Classic Outlook either.
Anyway, I'm still not ready to switch over yet...just testing it every now and then. Argh...
Would recommend waiting as long as you can with the switch. ICT asked me several times to switch 365 to New Outlook and at every of those times I switched back to the 365 version because New Outlook is just awfully flawed, unpractical, works worse than any previous Outlook version did... I could add many more negative adjectives and adverbs. Honestly, if they force it permanently I hope ICT will install software allowing us to function with alternatives to New Outlook.
