Question

I'd like to have spell check automatically check spelling as I type and autocorrect it or at least underline it to alert me to fix it. Right now under edit, spelling and grammar there is only one option I can select and all the rest are grayed out and I'm unable to click on them. Please help me figure this out. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to post here in the Community, @electds1. 

 

Currently, there isn't an option to turn on the spell check function. 

 

The other options will be available if you’re typing something in the program, such as creating invoices. If not, the options are grayed out and you’re unable to click on them.

I don't see an option on any page, (not even grayed out). I need spell check for cam members creating invoices. Even while creating an invoice I do not see it in preferences.  I just switched to online Mac from desktop in windows....desktop had spell check, why doesn't online?

You can turn on the spell checker from your browser's settings, @airmods1191.

 

The spell checker is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. However, you can go to your browser's settings to turn this on. 

 

For Chrome:

  1. Go to the Customize and Control Google Chrome (⋮) icon in the upper-right corner of your browser.
  2. Click Settings and select Advanced at the bottom.
  3. Under the Languages section, turn on the Spell check option.

For other browsers, this option usually can be seen under Languages.

Open any window in QB where you can create a document, invoice, estimate etc. Now check your edit options.
