Hmmmm... Never had a problem understanding format vs inputmask. Not trying to say that makes me better or anything; I'm sure some stuff that confuses me would be simple to others. :)

Once you have painted [entered] the numbers, you remove [do not save] the stencil [mask]. All that remains are the numbers [data]. Now the Format of the street number would be represented by a 9 for each number needed.
