you want to modify.

paste it into this dialog box using CTRL+V.
5. Enter the following placeholder to insert special information when the template is inserted:

this is not specified then the insertion cursor will be placed after the last character in the template, as in a
normal paste operation.
7. There are 10 shortcut keys reserved for templates. If you want to designate one of these select the key in the
drop-down list at the bottom of the edit template dialog box. These range from ALT+0 to ALT+9.
User input
When defining a template it is possible to define a user input field. Using the following placeholder specifies this
$(USERINPUT<n:1-10>|”<some text>”). The 'n' is a number, which identifies the user input identifier.
These placeholders can be added manually but the User Input button on the Define Templates dialog box adds these
placeholders in an automated manner. When the template is inserted into a file a dialog is displayed which allows you
to enter some custom text for each of these fields. This text is then inserted instead of the placeholder. You can define
ten of these user input fields.
