I remember being like that. For the first month or so on Mac OS all I did was go online and use Microsoft Word.
Now I have trouble keeping track of all the different things I do on my mac, I have tons of apps, and have been slowly discovering subtle ways of improving the user experience to suit my needs.
I wish I had had tutorials like this when I first started, maybe I wouldn't have been so terrified and forced to search youtube every time i needed t know how to do something.

You can make multi versions of this script by just changing the coordinates and saving it as new script.

to change coordinates, 1st you will need to find the coordinates by pressing Command + Sift + 4. and changing the numbers between the {}.

the 1st one which is the x-axes is the number in the top and the 2nd one is the y-axes which is at the bottom.

If you need further help just replay here or add me on IM :)
