I would like to be able to disable Expressions. I turned off the beta solely because I can't disable the expressions. Let me know when you have the feature added and I'll re-join the beta. Thanks.

This is baby stuff. I have no interest in unwanted updates, especially when there's no notice. Your one size fits all policies are ridiculous. If I knew of a way to disconnect from it I wouldn't be writing this email.

strange pictures on a side when you type "thank you" in work-based e-mail - very unprofessional

I am in a State agency. When I say "I apologize for..." to my superior, the last thing I want is a GIF from The Simpsons. When I say "Thank you" to a subordinate, I do not want that degraded with a graphic of "namaste" hands or some other stupid emoji.
It is obvious to me that Microsoft does not take business seriously.

Make the word "Thanks" not mess up your software with email under the "new Look"

Every time I type 'thank you' I get a blue emoji hyperlink, and can't seem to turn it off. Inappropriate. This is a business email first and foremost.

Not professional! Horrified that balloons were shooting out when I congratulated a College dean on his position!

When you type phrases/words such as 'Thank you' or 'Congratulations' it automatically gets made into some sort of graphic. While this is kind of nice, it's not nice that I (seemingly) don't have the option to deactivate that feature. I find it distracting when I am composing emails.

I just typed it all out and this system now wants me to repeat it. I do not want a bunch of gif or whatever pop up every time I type in "thanks" the word turns gray as if I spelled it wrong.

I dislike how if I type a phrase like "thank you so much", the screen aggressively suggests to me to use a gif in place of the phrase. If I ignore the gif suggestion and continue to type, the system will add unwanted spaces in the text such as, " thank you so much", and the more I type, the bigger the space increases, leaving my email grammatically incorrect. Also, if I click to open an email, it won't simply open it on the current screen; it will open up a new pop-up window to open the email.

Don't need the option of "Expressions" in my e-mails. I'm trying to conduct professional communications, not sharing gossip with my teenage friends

Eliminate the pop ups.

Imojis are a social trend. NOT AT ALL appropriate for business communication. I CANNOT use the new "look" with them popping up all the time! I will NOT be using this "upgraded" look. I don't care what you call it, it is invasive and frustrating.

When I type "Good morning," at the beginning of my email, it highlights it in blue and starts moving it right, separating from the comma. Then it's hard to fix / undo. Switching back to old Outlook. Bad, bad, bad.

I agree. This is very annoying. How can we turn it off

When I am typing an email, certain words light up and say "Search for suggestions." I find this distracting and a bit useless

Remove blue highlighting of common phrases. Remove draft and sent emails from tabbing at the bottom of screen.

Every time I type Thank, Thanks, or Thank You, it turns blue and starts popping up stuff about memes that include the same. It is very aggravating as I say thank you very often in work emails and it's rather unprofessional to have memes popping in there and turning my text multiple colors.

Agreed. This is a horrible idea for a professional/enterprise email application.
