Is therer a definitive list of macros?

2013-09-16 Thread Tony Hoare
Hello Forums,

I needed to extract a field from the address book when doing a mass 
mailing. I could not find anything in the help and fond a tantalising 
reference in a forum to address book macros in version 1 (or 2).

In my case I needed Job title field from the address book and using 
an index into the address book. Knowing TB! is amazingly flexible, I 
knew it would exist and eventually managed to guess the field.

To avoid the guessing, is there an up to date reference?

BTW, if you need the job title in your template during a mass mailing 
you can use %ABTOJOB

I  don't  know whether it is up to date, but the help file contains lots
of definitions of macros. Start it from TB! via help | help topics. Then
go  to  Macros and in it to Full alphabetic list of macros. That may
be all you need.
