Hi

Do you mean when you type the data or when you upload them? For upload I am not aware of any solution.

When you type then

For on-prem see this blog http://navnilesh.blogspot.com/2018/01/spelling-checker-in-nav.html

For SaaS I believe both Chrome and Edge has built-in spell check that works on BC as well.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I use Chrome and when I'm typing data say into a sales invoice or purchase order there isn't a spell checker. I'll take a look to at the link you provided.

Thanks,

Lori B.

Please check that you have spell check On in Chrome https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/12027911?hl=en

Also, I believe Chrome does not spell check on drop-down field such as description. See below how it did in one spot but not in description.

If you mean those description then I hope someone can provide a solution for that.

Unfortunately where I need to have the spell checker is in the description lines.

That's where all the data entry is happening. I do see where if I type in the work description a misspelled word it does underline it so the Chrome spell checker is working. It's just not where I need it to work.

Thanks!

That was what I afraid of.

Maybe yzhums or JAngle can provide a method for customization based on this idea

Hi, Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no good way to do this now.

As MahGah test, there should also be various restrictions on using browser add-ins. I have seen a discussion about auto-filling before, but none of them can be perfect.

For example,

PS: If you want to prevent users from entering special characters inside an input field, you can refer the following.

Hope this helps.

Is this a good use case for an approval workflow? You’ll be amazed how spelling improves when users can’t release their own orders

So please help, what is the solution to check the spelling of special characters? Thank you in advance for considering my question as I struggle with grammar when doing my university homework. I'm thinking of trying https://essays.studymoose.com/write-my-personal-statement because my friend suggested it. He said that this source only hired experts who can professionally write my personal statement and it would be a solution for my problem.
