About the webinar

Macro masking functions are powerful. Wouldn’t it be great if you could harness that power? We’ll show you the most commonly used masking functions, plus give you the ability to control when macro variable triggers are treated as variable triggers versus plain text.

You will learn to use masking functions for special characters like:

Ampersand (Smith & Sons).

Apostrophe (Mary’s Market).

Comma (as a macro function argument).
