Hi @Shashi123,

Refer this post,

Can someone explain what is Anchor in simple words?

When I try to record Basic or Desktop I am receiving a message saying “Do you want to use the Anchor?”. What is this message is for? Selecting or denying Anchor activity is getting recorded and not executing while running the sequence or flow chart. Please explain how to use this Anchor tag. Please see the attached screen to see message i am receiving[image]

Regards,
Arivu

Hi
I could solve this problem by following this suggestion.

Figured out how to change the font on Notepad.exe

The issue is that the recorder doesn’t detect anything but OK button on the font screen. To avoid this, you have to press Esc right after the font screen appears. On the Desktop Recording screen, click Element > Mouse > Click and click the font you want to change. Then click Element > Mouse > Click and click the font size in case you want to chage the font size as well. Lastly click Element > Mouse > Click and click the OK button. That’s it. The tutorial video should be updated. Or the UiP…

It seems like, on some application, you may need to intentionally give a click.
