Hi:
I have successfully added a few text shortcuts via System Preferences > Keyboard > Text (e.g. omw for on my way).
My shortcuts work in certain apps (i.e. apple Mail and Outlook for mac, but they do not work in apps where I really need them (i.e. Macdown and Word for Mac. How do I get these to work system-wide?
Thank you.

It’s possible to have keyboard shortcuts for one app that conflict with another app. For example, Command-Space bar opens the Spotlight menu, but in another app it might be used for switching between different input methods.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
Click Shortcuts. A yellow warning badge appears next to conflicting keyboard shortcuts. Click the shortcut, then change it.
