What a lot of helpful info. Thank you, Cory.
So you use something like the "If Window Title "Font Warning" is on top" and if true, use "Macro Run"? I've already used "Macro Run" and would have expected that the parent waits for the child to complete. It does seem like the macro sometimes moves ahead to open the new file before it finishes with the current file and that surprised me. It worked, so I didn't worry about it. (Except it didn't work with two or more message boxes.) If these are running simultaneously, this is starting to make sense. I've tried adjusting the timing but the timing can be awfully hard to figure. (For a different process, I just had to put in a "Pause: Basic" and click Resume as needed.)
Intriguing. I will try this just to see it work. I would never have conjured this up.
Thanks for this too. I'm not so familiar with controls but want very much to understand it and you've given me a start. (Naturally, one starts with what one knows and works from there.) This button says DONE and, actually, <enter> <esc> and "D" are all unreliable. Maybe because two macros are running simultaneously? I will definitely try testing for a control (and in other circumstances "window running" rather than "window on top").
Interesting question.
Very sincere thanks,
Jeanne
