Are there any "rules" regarding screen Settings?

Are there any rules regarding SCREEN Settings?

Specifically,
I run 3 monitors in PORTRAIT at 1024x1280 resolution with and DVORAK keyboard as my "normal" setup.

I want to be able to EDIT ATMNs using that setup, even though I RECORD them with Landscape 1024x768 and a standard English keyboard.

Does AA mix the recorded settings with the settings used when editing?

Are there any simple rules to follow to avoid "unanticipated results?"

Hello,

The task records size and position of windows the moment when you insert any keystroke or mouse action in that window and when you run the task, the window moves to the position where it was at the time when you created/recorded the task.

Now, when you edit the mouse click command with different screen settings then current screen resolution will take the effect. In such scenario, we suggest you to edit all the Mouse Click commands to perform the action relative to window.

Alternatively, use Manage Windows Control (MWC) command to capture Windows control properties like command buttons, list box items, text box, menu tabs etc. You can then specify the actions to be performed on these controls or assign the captured properties to variables.
You must use Manage Web Controls to capture controls in Internet Explorer.

When you use MWC, not only your task is independent of screen coordinates and screen resolution, but it can also run in background.

Hope that helps.
