4. Select Quickpart(s) to use
Tick the Quickpart(s) that you want to use in your message, then click the Select button
Tip: You can select multiple Quickparts and insert them all at the same time - Note that they will be inserted in the order that they appear in the selection window. If you want to use multiple Quickparts but use a different order you will need to add the Quickparts individually and re-open the Quickpart tool to select additional items.
