As long as I can remember, it was very easy to add new entries to the autocorrect list with a single right click whenever you'd made a typo: right click on the typo and choose "autocorrect" from the context menu, then pick the correct spelling of the word suggested in the next level of the context menu. That was all.

In Office 2013 this option has suddenly disappeared.


The reason for this is documented here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...54(en-us).aspx
It sounds almost Orwellian, because I wonder who would be bothered by that supposed "clutter" in the context menu. And the feature still being available through "other entry points" is rather ludicrous: it involves going to the autocorrections button in the options menu and manually adding your entry to the list there, by typing both the typo and the correct spelling. Needless to say, this is about 500% more involved than a simple right-click.

I'd gently urge everybody agreeing with me, or even only sympathizing with my loss, to vote for it and add a protest at this site:

And if you know of any other more immediate ways to provide feedback about this to Microsoft, I'd be obliged. This really seems like a very, very poor programming decision to me. It's certainly now one feature in which Open Office has suddenly become far superior.
