Auto Correct and Outlook 2011

Split from this thread.

Hi Bob. I (too!) am trying to master Autocorrect in Outlook 2011 having just "evolved" from Outlook 2003... (OL 2011 seems to be a seriously inferior programme :( )...
If I right click on a misspelled word (I'm typing in French and obviously(!) using th French dictionary): if I type "reponse" it gets the red underline - so far so good.
I then right-click and I get offered "réponse" (and a couple of others)

So I want to add "réponse" to be Autocorrected however that isn't offered to me in the drop-down menu (as it was on OL 2003).

From you have written in the second part of your reply, I wondered if it happened automatically, but it doesn't, not even after restarting Outlook...
I'd be very grateful if you could tell me what I should be doing to get this REALLY important function to work.

Separate subject, but Cmd+Y doesn't work in OL 2011, is that normal?

Thanks in advance

J

In this particular thread the subject changed from how Autocorrect behaves in Word 2011 to how it behaves in OutLook 2011. So I as moderator moved this post where it might be better answered.
