    I loved this exercise! For some reason I couldn’t get the new window open and when I did the robot was typing in the wrong notepad screen. I used the hot key to set up a new window, added a delay, and then added the attach window to make sure the robot typed where it should.

      Hey Francis. You’re well past this Beginners Course then Thanks for the feedback. When making a course like this, it’s always a tradeoff between simplicity and going into details (covering every edge case). If I ever (sorry WHEN I) make a 10-hour course, I should definitely talk about making the solutions more robust like the one you state above. Have a great day. Kind regards, Anders

      Hey Mark. Great question. It’s not an exception, I’ve seen, but these things occur for us. We just do workarounds. Here you can use a “Click Image” instead, where you select the image you want to click (make a selection around File), or you can use Click Text, where you choose the Notepad and search for “File”. I hope this helps. Else please join one (or more) of my groups, and we solve it here: https://youtu.be/C6xmGfEL07I Kind regards, Anders
