#INSERTION# never used to do that. :-)

The clipping substitution placeholders are documented on starting on  
page 288 of the user manual.

It sounds like you want to use something like this:

        [BEFORE] #selection# [AFTER]

Alternatively, if you want to leave the insertion point ready to type  
if there was no selection range, you can use

        [BEFORE] #selectionorinsertion# [AFTER]
