how can I control where a new window opens?

[philkryder]

I'm using OPEN FILE to open a new instance of microsoft word.

It opens as it should at the same size and at the same location where it was when Word was closed most recently.

But then AA does "something" to move the Word window.
Why does it move the Word window?
How can I control it or make it stop moving the window?
I want it in a particular place when the end user views it.

I am running 3 19inch monitors in PORTRAIT mode.

I don't want AA to move the window while it types into it.

Thanks
Phil

Hello Phil,

AA tries to move the word window because when you created the task and captured the word window, it remembered its location. To ensure it plays back all actions correctly in the window, it moves it to the recorded location.

However, what you can do is, change the title of the window to have a wild card in the word window and that way, it becomes a new window and when it finds the match during the playback, it will simply activate it and not move it.

Let us know how it goes.
