Default Different Resolutions?

I recently moved my macro's from my desktop to a stand alone computer that just runs all of my macros. Problem is that the screen on the new computer cannot have as big of a resolution as what my desktop had, so all of my macro's are not clicking in the correct part of the screen. Is there some option to change how the macro will work in different resolutions?

Thanks,

-Gall

Hello,

Following are few points that should be considered while recording a macro for its errorless execution.

1) While recording we recommend using more of keyboard short cuts instead of mouse clicks as they are more reliable than mouse moves/clicks irrespective of change in screen resolution or window size. Mouse clicks/moves are subject to work on a screen resolution they were recorded on. However, keystrokes will work as expected no matter whatever screen resolution you set to.

2) While recording after you perform an action, wait for few seconds so that command gets enough time to execute on replay. Insufficient delay can skip any command and hence can mess up the commands. After recording, you can also edit your macro through Tools->Macro Editor to insert Delay command (Available in Workspace Macro Pro 6.5).

3) Using Workspace Macro Pro you can edit mouse clicks to perform activities relative to windows. Please follow the steps given below:
. Double click on Mouse Click command.
. Click on 'Advanced' button.
. From 'Relative To' frame select option 'Window' and save the command.
. Perform the above steps for every Mouse Click command in question.
. Save the macro and run it.

4) Here is a link to best practices for our macro products, Workspace Macro 4.6 and Workspace Macro Pro 6.5

Hope that helps!
