Hi @joyce1210,

Currently, there is no built-in spell check feature in Microsoft Planner. To turn on spell check in Planner, you can use your browser's built-in spell checker.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Planner in your browser.
  2. Click the ... (ellipsis) button in the top right corner of the window.
  3. Select Settings.
  4. In the Settings pane, click the Languages tab.
  5. Under Proofing, make sure that the Check spelling as you type box is checked.
  6. Click Save and restart.

Once you have enabled spell check, any misspelled words in Planner will be highlighted and underlined. To correct a misspelled word, simply click on it and select the correct spelling from the suggestions list.

To copy and paste in Microsoft Planner:

  1. Select the text or object that you want to copy.
  2. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection.
  3. Click the location where you want to paste the selection.
  4. Press Ctrl+V to paste the selection.
