You want a template of "text" to be available when teachers add a new forum activity? If so, make the activity, add the text, and then stealth it. Then teachers can duplicate the activity and edit the existing text as needed. 

Or use Atto Generico plug in to store a preset of text. Then teachers just click a button to insert the text.

Not sure if that was what you are meaning.

That was quite helpful, the Atto Generico plugin idea sounds good. Will give that a try.

Thank you.

There is another plugin that is great for text templates, Snippet for Atto. It is also written and maintained by Justin Hunt and actually seems to be designed for the purpose of making templates.

Thank you Al, 

This seems to be a very useful plugin, not just for forums but for all text areas. Just reviewed the description and stats, there is a steady increase in the number of sites using the plugin, which sounds pretty good too.

I think i'll explore this further.
