You could also Create a topic, name it, and then duplicate it (make copies) until you have the ones you want.

So for Sandpoint NPCs, you'd create Individual in Sandpoint's container, don't enter stuff in, just make it.
Then you'd click the topic in the navigation pane and select duplicate topic in this category (or something like that).
It makes a copy named Unnamed (Copy) for instance.
Do it again, and again, and again, and again
Go back and rename them all
Enter their info one at a time, or section by section.
Say you have a generic NPC note, put that in the first, copy it and paste it whenever you need it in one go. ("The players have not met this NPC yet" for instance)

I find the duplicate topic's only issue is the very long names it comes up with after duplicating a lot Bob (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) for instance. But it CAN be faster than <ctrl-Q> You just need to put the cursor in the name, <ctrl-A> then type your new name to clear out all that garbage it makes.
