when typing spelling check not working

Thanks for letting us know, 101electrics. We understand the importance of having spell check function well in QuickBooks Online. I've crafted a list of troubleshooting steps to get everything running smoothly for you.

 

QuickBooks Online relies on your browser’s built-in spell checker to identify and highlight misspelled words as you type. Before we begin troubleshooting, please ensure the spell-check feature is enabled.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Hamburger icon in the top-right corner of your browser window.
  2. Select the Gear icon.

  3. Choose Languages from the menu.
  4. Ensure that Spell Checker is enabled for your preferred language.

 

I’ve included screenshots below for Chrome and Edge browsers for your reference:

If the spell checker is enabled and the issue persists, I recommend accessing your account through an incognito window. This will help rule out any potential webpage issues. Here are the shortcut keys in various supported browsers:

 

  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

After starting a new private browsing session, please log into your QBO account and check if this works. If yes, clear your browser's cache to help the program run smoothly and eliminate technical issues. You can also use other devices and supported browsers as alternatives.

 

Additionally, I’ve included this valuable article offering a comprehensive guide to navigating your QBO menu. This resource provides quick access to your business workflows such as invoicing, banking, employee management, and more, helping you manage your tasks efficiently: Understand the navigation menu in QuickBooks Online.
