Fix clicks that land in the wrong place

If a macro clicks in the wrong place, a window probably opened somewhere else, or your screens changed. Here's how to fix it.

Press Edit on the macro.

Open the click step.

A click is measured from the corner of its window, so it follows the window when it moves. If a click was set up without a window, press Pick the spot, and click the real button again.

To see it all on a picture of your screens, press Visual editor.

Press Play to watch the macro. The numbered dot is where it clicks.

Drag a window to where it should open. Its clicks move with it. Drag its corner to make it bigger or smaller.

Press Done to use the changes, then Save macro.

A few more tips. Keys like Tab and Enter don't care where a window is, so use them where you can.

Add Wait for a window to appear, before steps in a program that's slow to open.

And if you switch between a laptop and a docking station, record once on each. The right one plays by itself.
