I want to insert one page into multiple documents. Easily.

I have 150-200 Word documents. I want to insert a one page Word document into each of these 150-200 files as the cover/first page.

Now, I know how to insert a file, but I don't want to have to open 200 documents and insert a file 200 times. Is there an easy way to do this? Word 2010 on a PC running Vista. I am mostly an idiot, but will install a plugin or a macro or something, but don't know how to write my own plugins or macros or visualbasic things.

Just to clarify, are these .doc or .docx files?

Could you use QuickMacros? I'm not at my laptop now, so can't write a script for you but in the past I've found it fairly intuitive to record & edit the macro as long as it can be done via keyboard shortcuts. The app is a little pricey but should have a 30 day trial.

If something like that happens more often, it might be useful to learn something like autoit (it's free).

Response by poster: can be either .doc or .docx, doesn't matter.
