When adding a text box to a report, spellcheck automatically analyzes the contents and highlights words not in it's dictionary with the familiar red squiggle. There is no way to dismiss this squiggle, meaning that the highlighting is always present. There is no way to disable spellcheck via options either.

Believe it or not, but some PBI users are actually not US citizens, and need to write text boxes in other languages than english! (thus making the spellchecker going berserk) Can we get a fix here please!

I fail to understand how a relatively modern application is missing so many basic features, or insists on doing some ridiculous workaround.No ability to turn off spell-check, but also no way to add "custom" words to the dictionary to prevent them being detected as incorrect. As others have mentioned, a lot of my text includes acronyms, names of servers, DBs, and tables, all of which are not in the dictionary, so my text boxes soon become filled with very, VERY distracting red lines.

We really need to be able to ignore or disable this ASAP please. I have a project name that is an acronym and so it's constantly got the red squiggle underneath. It's so annoying

We urgently need the ability to disable the spell check in box and forms please!

Is there seriously no way to turn this off? It is of no help, I don't even understand why some words have a line under it, as they are perfectly common words.
