You do not need any special tools to insert macros. Simply type a macro command into the Confluence editor inside two curly braces {...}. For more instructions on how to work with macros in your Confluence space see https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/eyAC.

Macro Browser

The macro browser is like the full notation guide for wiki markup; it allows you to preview the various macros available in Confluence. To open the Macro Browser when editing a page, click the Insert button and select Other macros. For full documentation on using the Macro Browser, visit https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/pILjCg.
