Cannot change standard to itemized deduction

My husband and I are married, filing separately. Because he is itemizing deductions I must itemize. After entering all my deductions, the next screen indicates that I qualify for the standard deduction. There is no box on the page to check to change to itemized deductions. What should I do?

Oops! Never mind. If I advance one more screen, the box to change to itemized is there.

Did you go into My Info and click Edit by your spouse's name and look for the box that says

"either spouse or I claim itemized deductions"?
