Welcome Suzanne Thrower,

Thank you for posting. To better understand the issue, could you please confirm whether you're using Outlook.com in a web browser (such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox), and whether the problem occurs in all browsers or only one browser?

In the meantime, please try these quick checks:

Open Outlook.com in an InPrivate/Incognito window and create a new email. Check whether you can right-click a misspelled word there.
Temporarily disable any browser extensions, especially grammar, writing-assistant, or ad-blocking extensions, then test again.
Sign out of Outlook.com, close the browser completely, reopen it, and sign back in.
If you're using Microsoft Edge, go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > All sites, remove the Outlook.com site data, then sign in again.
