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.

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.
