Macro help. How to call macros from my character sheet...

I've been using a table with links to do macros quickly. Recently I've been using the macros outside the sheet and now that I'm moving them to the sheet I have no idea to call them for the table. I feel like I'm missing something super simple. Example macro links my other macros in a table: &{template:default} {{name=Ranged-Full-AO}} {{[Ranged-Full](! ,#Ranged-Full)}} {{[Ranged-Full-O](! ,#Ranged-Full-O)}} {{[Ranged-Full-DA-CE](! ,#Ranged-Full-DA-CE)}} Replace ! with ! & # 13 (without spaces) I learned this is the bit of code that links macros in the table (or at least it has been). Now that the macros are in a character sheet they don't run and only output something like ,#Ranged-Full

Ah, you want to switch to the  ability command button syntax.
I need more information... New to macros so I don't entirely get this.
If I understand you correctly, you want a rollable table with macros you made from character sheets, if that is true, the example below should do it. if they are in the character sheets under abilities, lets say you have a d4 and a d6 macro, and your character is name John, and you want that table to be whisper to John /w John [d4](~John|d4)[d6](~John|d6]

Edit: I just realized what you are doing with that macro and It might be what I'm looking for... Edit 2: Holy shit that worked! Where can I find documentation for whatever causes (~name|Macro) work? Edit 3: Found it. I just didn't understand what it did when Scott linked me there without an actual example. Thanks so much guys! That isn't the case. I have a few macros that do nice things like this <a href="http://i.imgur.com/IUQsnZz.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/IUQsnZz.png</a> and have moved them to the character sheet so I could input numbers via attributes for BAB and Damage so I don't have to rewrite the macro every time I level up or something else changes. Watching videos I learned I could link these macros in a table with the macro in the top post. The problem now is that with the macros being in the character sheet don't run to become like the linked image. If I click the link that runs Ranged-Full macro (This one runs to make the image) all that comes up is literally ,#Ranged-Full So what do I need to do to make the macro run now that it is on a character sheet(Should I start using the word journal)?
