As you build your templates, you'll find that you are using similar blocks in many of them.
To avoid repetitions, you can extract those blocks into a template and recall that template from other templates.
Doing this, you'll need to keep updated a single template.
The best way to do this is by using the Insert template macro.
To extract a frequently used piece of text
1.Open a template in the Quick edit or the Template editor
2.Select the text you want to extract
3.Right click and choose Extract & link
4.Assign the desired name and Id for the template and click OK to confirm
PhraseExpander will create a new template and move the contents there. At the same time it will add a reference (via the Insert template macro) to the current template.
The extract and link window allows you to quickly extract a piece of text and place it into another template.
NOTE: if you extract a block of text that contains variables the variable definition is not copied to the newly created template and the variables must be redefined.
