Need a way to mass-produce tokens/journal entries with all the same attribute boxes

So messing around with the macros, I've found that with a LOT of them, I have been able to save time for my players in my Pathfinder game at the expense of investing the time to create the macros. Although it seems like a lot, I found that by making boxes for every stat, AC HP BAB CMB CMD Ref Will Fort, even all the skills, I can make general macros that can really save a lot of time, especially if new players are involved, and making that acrobatics check is a little more complicated than it should be. /em attempts to use acrobatics to move through a threatened square. DC = Enemy CMD /r d20 +@{Acrobatics} +@{Dex} +@{Skill Bonus} /w gm @{target|CMD} s, These are really cool, only problem is, I have to: A. make a journal entry for every character I want to abide by the system set up in macros. B. go into journal and make and rename every single attribute box with this name, and while i don't mind filling in the values, that is a lot of typing/room-for-game-breaking-typos. I need a way to make it so every token I make has all these attribute boxes (about 50) already there and named so that I can simply fill in the blanks. So I'm thinking some kind of template that allows you to designate global attribute boxes to all your journal entries. And it would be nice if they didn't have to be in the journal in the first place necessarily, kind of crowds things up, but I guess that can be fixed with archiving.

You can make one 'dummy sheet' with everything you want on it, and when you need a new one click the 'duplicate' button on it, and you will have a sheet with all the empty stats already on it for a new character.

As you're a mentor, the API may be another option. In the campaign I'm currently running, I have a command !journal [-epuk] name , which creates a new character sheet with a bunch of default values. (-epuk is an optional flag that modifies what the defaults are; omitting it is the same as specifying -e)
@William wow thank you I never saw the duplicate button in the journal, kind of solves my problem. @Brian, I see how that works now, though I am really just now getting a real grasp on the macros. API scripting is my next conquest, honestly though, I am a little daunted by it. I will start with that though and perhaps if I can get it working it will give me some confidence and incentive to explore some more. In truth I was even apprehensive about the macros at first, then I got addicted. By making macros based off of caster level we got some spell macros that are pretty cool. A fireball macro that levels up with you is awesome, or I even made one for mirror image (not sure if I can fix it, this one only works if you round up the number of images on levels that aren't divisible by 3) If anyone has any cool or interesting macros to share throw em out there!
