I didn't see where this was answered yet. So here goes.
There a couple of ways of doing this. You can have a macro that goes:
%C DE W9IXX/4 K
%C is the callsign that is in the Entry Window.
Also, you can insert from the keyboard with %I.
When you use %I in a macro, the macro stops and a small window opens where you
can type from keyboard. When finished typing from the keyboard, hit Enter and
the macro will continue.
The only time I use %I is in a macro used to move stations from one band to
another.
Example:
%C PSE QSY %I DE AA5AU K
When this macro is transmitted, it will stop at %I and a small window opens
where I type in a frequency, hit enter and the macros is sent like this:
W9IXX/4 PSE QSY 21085 DE AA5AU K
For example macros (called messages) for each RTTY contest, refer to:

Subject: [WriteLog] Keyboard and Macro quiry
Hi agn,
During the test I was trying to insert some keyboard typing and then use a
macro.
I did "Alt K" then typed then "Alt K" agn then hit a "F" key to do the Macro.
This seems like a long way to do it, so asking if something shorter is
available.
EXAMPLE
In Macro have: "F5" have "DE W9IXX/4 K"
If during test a couple of stations come back how can I add the stations call
first and then "F5".
K5DJ "F5" so it comes out:
K5DJ DE W9IXX/4 K
Tnx
Phil W9IXX
