How and where am able to turnoff "NewEditor Version" on Mac office 365 Outlook.

In a recent update I lost my microphone ICON, but it does have in word and works great in word.

Also the system does not run spell check properly very difficult to click on a misspelled word, in addition my personal library of words that I use everyday from peoples correct names not how outlook thinks the person name is and alas product / model names that I need to type in all the time. When I do correct it toehold outlook ask if you want tisane now it does not.

    Sorry, you can't disable the new editor.

    Dictation: press the mic button on the keyboard or at the bottom of the Edit menu. I don't see it as an option to add to the ribbon. It seems like the first time you use dictation in a message, you need to use the keyboard, then the Edit menu works to reenable it if you disable it by typing.

    Spelling - single click on the misspelled word. You don't need to select the entire word - just click anywhere in it.

    When you are in word, your personal library of correct spellings works?
