Hello All,
I'm new to FastKeys / Text Expander, and I seem unable to get it to work. I'm running Windows 10 x64 Bit, with plenty of RAM & file storage capacity. Here is what I've input so far:

String: mail3
Description: Techie Bear's email
Type: Send
Substitute: TechieBearPup @ comcast.net (formatted correctly in the posting location)
Options: Trigger Immediately

Yet when I type mail3 in a Windows Notepad file, nothing happens.

Any help will greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Techie Bear

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Your example should work as intended. Did you save your settings (Save button)? Maybe you have changed some user preferences? You can go to Preferences and reset to defaults. Is everything else working?
