Text Expander works as expected on one of my computers within Outlook 365, but not on another computer within the same version of Outlook.

I wonder if there is some setting in outlook that is preventing Text Expander from passing text when typing an email in Outlook on the affected computer.

The same text expander strings exist on both computers. On ONE of the computers, typing the trigger string just results in a dump of whatever was previously in the clipboard - NOT the text expander phrase. This only happens in Outlook emails. In other programs such as notepad, Text Expander performs properly and passes the correct phrases.

Thanks for any help!

Maybe your Preferences are different. Check if the "Use clipboard if text length exceeds..." option is enabled in Preferences/Text Expander/Advanced. If this doesn't work, you may need to adjust a Paste Delay too.
