When entering transactions or item information, you can check your spelling in most text fields, including memos, descriptions, addresses and item names.

You can set a preference to automatically check spelling, otherwise you can manually check spelling as you enter transactions or item information by clicking Spell.

When you check the spelling in a field, the Spelling window appears with a number of options and fields.

You can also customise your spelling preferences in the Spelling Options window. For example, you can change the main dictionary language and choose a preference to ignore words that include numbers.

Want to turn off spell-check?

Go to Setup > Preferences > Windows tab and deselect the Automatically Check Spelling in Text Fields Before Recording Transactions option.
