    From  Posting Help page:

     

    Can I create "canned" or "boilerplate" responses?

    Yes. You can use macros to create boilerplate text that you can paste into any message. You can create up to 9 macros.

    To set up a macro for boilerplate text:

    1. Sign in to the community.
    2. Go to My Settings > Macros.
    3. Enter a short but memorable name in the Macro Title field.
    4. In the Macro box, enter your boilerplate text. (You can use HTML tags if your community allows it.)
    5. Click Save.

    Tip: To add text at the bottom of your posts, you can include that text your signature instead of using a macro.

    To add your boilerplate text to a post:

    1. Go to a post.
    2. In the comment area, place your cursor where you want to add the boilerplate text.
    3. Open the Macros menu and select the macro you want to add.
