Default Creating a horizontal line in a document

Everything I've read and watched (on Youtube) says you can create a horizontal line on your document by typing 3 hyphens followed by hitting the return key (and the horizontal line is automatically completed and your cursor goes to the next line). I've tried this and it doesn't work. Is there something I need to change in my settings somewhere to enable this function? Some of the comments on Youtube videos indicate I'm not the only one with this problem...

Many people find this feature an annoyance.
