# Find and Manipulate Window Elements

> Example project demonstrating how to change font size in a Notepad file using Find Element and other activities.

The example below explains how to automate the action of changing the font size in a notepad file. It presents activities such as [Find Element](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/wait-ui-element-appear), [Find Relative Element](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/find-relative), [Click](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/click), [Activate](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/activate), or [Set Focus](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/set-focus). You can find these activities in the **UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities** package.

This is how the automation process can be built:

1. Open Studio and create a new **Process**.
2. Drag a **Sequence** container in the **Workflow Designer**.
   * Create the following variable:

     | Variable Name | Variable Type | Default Value |
     | --- | --- | --- |
     | `EditElement` | **UiPath.Core.UiElement** |  |
     | `FormatElement` | **UiPath.Core.UiElement** |  |
3. Drag an **OpenApplication** activity inside the **Sequence** container.
   * Inside the activity, click the **Indicate window on screen** option. Then you can select the **Notepad** window. The GIF below shows all the steps you need to follow:

   * Add the variable `EditElement` in the **Element** field.
   * Add the variable `FormatElement` in the **RelativeElement** field.

      field, type the value `down`.

    * Select the **None** option from the **KeyModifiers** drop-down list.
    * Select the check box for the **SpecialKey** option. This indicates that you are using a special key in the keyboard shortcut.
