Default Copying a letter header into a mailmerge template

I am doing a job where I need to copy a letter header into each of about 100
letters which are mailmerge template documents for about 20 different
customers - all up about 2000 copy and pastes requiring opening each
document and deleting the current header and pasting the new one. I have
tried to use IncludeText to do this and having the header in a file, but it
appears that the client must open each letter and refresh the link before
they can get the header in the letter.

Is there a way of doing what I am trying to do without me doing this
mindless copy and paste operation which takes about 1 hour for each client
and is totally boring and therefore prone to me making mistakes.

Can a simple little program be written that will take a lump of text out of
one document and just paste it into a series of documents or just paste the
contents of the clipboard into the top of a document?

Any suggestions please.
