I can't find any way to do this. If, for example, I am putting an address into an email and I use the abbreviation Rd., Outlook 365 capitalizes the next word. I can't turn this off in auto-correct options. I don't find any other place in Outlook 365 where I can disable this annoying feature.

I will assume you are using Classic Outlook. If not, see below.

AutoCorrect Options -> Capitalize first letter of sentences
Autocorrect, auto capitalize, and auto format your messages - Microsoft Support

But it's stupid. Doesn't know the difference between an abbreviation and the end of a sentence. Unfortunately it's all or nothing.
How do I change/turn off the feature of when typing a period then a space, the next letter is auto-capitalized? - Microsoft Q&A
