Hello @wang huadong​ 

 

Thank you for posting in the Automation Anywhere community forum.

 

  • As a recommendation to help resolve the issue, we request you to please use a "Window: Activate" command and select the required Notepad window title using the Application or the Variable options in the 'Window' settings for the "Window: Activate" command
  • Please use this command before the keystrokes command
  • This way, the window will be brought to focus before text is written to the file
