Hello, has anyone experienced difficulties entering a new address to Outlook and can't insert the @ sign. It keeps coming up as " but works fine everywhere else on computer. Grateful for any advice offered.

That's because Microsoft is American, they do not really understand the "World" concept so default setup is American language ... that's another misconception ... there is no such language as American English.

Short answer, change the OS language setting.
