I have been using it for years and got a new win 7 laptop and installed Outlook 2010. AHK doesn't expand abbrvs in Outlook but works in 95% of other apps. Could someone help. Thanks.

Best regards, D

Try running the script as admin to check for permissions problems.

How do I make it admin? It works under word and excel. I may have installed outlook (and/or AHK) or the outlook profile just for my account and not everyone on the laptop.

Wherever you installed AHK to, there should be an Autohotkey.exe. Right click that file, go to compatability, and select always run as admin (or something like that)

Did the administrator thing and restarted Outlook. It worked. Thanks.
