     You can create up to nine macros.
  2. Type a name for the fist macro in the Macro 1 Title box.
     Make the name short, but memorable (you'll choose it by name from a menu).
  3. Type the text you want to be able to paste in the Macro 1 box.
     If your community allows HTML, you can use HTML tags in your macro.
  4. Enter names and text for your other macros.

  Note: If you want to have special text at the bottom of post, you can put that text in a signature instead of a macro.

     The Macros menu is on the right side of the Post page toolbar. You can use a macro in any sort of post: a message, a reply, a comment, an idea, you name it.
  2. Click in the Subject or Body area where you want to paste the macro text.
