Save a text box for re-use?

I have a text box I create in different .pdf's multiple times a day, it always contains the exact same information, (i.e. name and position). Is there a way to save this text box somewhere into my Adobe Pro so I don't have to create and re-type the text box every time? Similar to a pre-saved stamp, I just want to select it and stick it onto my document.

This is what I want to save and re-use.

OK. Open the Comment panel and select this comment from the Comments List. Now click the Options button above that list and then select "Export Selected to Data File". Save the file somewhere on your computer and when you want to add it into a different file go to the same location and select Import Data File and then select this file you just created, and the comment will be added.

That worked, thank you, I think I'll try that for a while and see how it goes. Timewise I suppose it takes about the same amount of time as just creating my box and typing, but less "key-strokes" your way so I like it better. I appreciate the fast response!

What tool are you using to add this text box?

Under the "Comment" then under "Drawing Markups" they have an icon that is a red box with a "T" inside of it. That is what I have been using to create my text.
