I have tried posting on every Mac Forum I can think of without any solutions to my problem being offered. Can anyone here help please?
I am very puzzled. On my new iMac running Mavericks, I cannot get text replacement to work.
On my iPad or iPhone I can set up keys for text that will automatically get inserted in a field or on a document when those keys are pressed. For example using @@ (which is not likely to be a normal set of key strokes) I can immediately get the keys to expand and insert my email address.
I can set these keys and texts up on the iMac (preferences/keyboard/text) but nothing I do seems to allow me to type @@ and get my email address (for example) anywhere - even in a plain text document. What am I doing wrong or missing? This faciity works exactly as intended on my iPhone and iPad so why not on the iMac Desktop?
