Outlook for Windows has tremendous history and the future is bright. The evolution of Outlook brings capabilities based on building on a common architecture and making it a more connected Microsoft 365 experience. Today we are pleased to announce the plans to rollout new capabilities that are enabled based on tight architectural integration with other parts of the Office suite, in this case specifically Microsoft Word. We are planning to roll out Editor, Immersive Reader, Translator and Text predictions in Outlook for Windows this calendar year.
Immersive Reader
Immersive Reader will be the first feature to release to Current Channel Office and Microsoft 365 customers early in the November timeframe. We are introducing a new command in the Simplified Ribbon that allows you turn it on Immersive Reader so you can customize your experience based on your needs including text spacing, s, page color and column width all from a new, dedicated contextual tab.
Text Predictions
Text predictions, a feature that suggests the text you might want to type next based on context and machine learning, is designed to save you time by making it faster to respond to . Our decision to integrate the components for composition in Outlook for Windows with Microsoft Word is paying off. As Word adopts modern content creation capabilities, Outlook is able to do so also! Text predictions is based on an algorithm that is common across Microsoft 365. This means that the learnings that happen in Word, Outlook on the web or other Microsoft service built on the common architecture will inform and improve your overall Microsoft 365 experience, including in Outlook for Windows.
Similar to Outlook on the web, you can manage Text predictions in Mail Options/Settings. Our plans are to bring this experience to Outlook for mac and mobile very soon
