insert text at the cursor

Hello, all. My boss wants to be able to enter "canned" text into a text field to save folks from having to type the same phrases over and over. My idea was to have a value list field containing all the canned phrases people typically enter next to a button. The user selects the canned phrase from the value list, clicks the button and the selected phrase is placed into the text field above right where the cursor is. I know the 'insert text' script step, but I can't figure out how to get it to insert text at the cursor. Ideas? Thanks.

Don't specify a field and make sure 'select entire contents' is deselected. It will then insert the text into the current field starting at the cursor's position.
