Downloaded Templates - No Macros?

[Lando]

I downloaded the Bill of Lading template. I see there are macros in the
fields like:
DoClickField[Name]
DoClickField[Street Address]

Yet when I look under macros there are none. Also when using this template
nothing happens when you click a field to suggest these macros are there. I
have macros enabled. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

What you are seeing are MacroButton fields, which are intended to be used
for to run macros, but they aren't actually running a macro and aren't
supposed to. The MacroButton field is a handy way to insert a
"clickable" field that you can use to select the entire field with a single
and type over. This is typically the case when you see "DoFieldClick",
"NoMacro", or "Bogus" used as the macro name.

So in this case, if you click the field and the field is selected so you can
type over it, it's doing what it was designed to do.
