Default Moving body text from old files to new files (based on template)

I've done a brief search, wasn't able to come up with a solution - if I missed something, please point me in the right direction.


TLDR: Looking for a way to copy body text from one template to a new template on 500+ files automatically.


So I have about 500 files which are all based on a corporate letterhead template. The body of the text in these files is all I need to grab, not the headers or footers.

I need to change the letterhead, essentially, on each individual file, so that the new files contain the old text. I have done about twenty by copy-paste, but this is boredom in its finest and I am hoping there is, perhaps, a better way?

I need to maintain generalized formating and indentation, but match the new font style and size. There are no color issues.

This is being done on a W7KP machine running Office 2013.

Cheers and thanks!!

Jason
