Thanks to Herbert Kleebauer's prior suggestions, I have a series of 
template-creating batch files now, all invoked easily in a Runbox.

When I want template #1 for example, I type "1" in the Runbox.
When I want template #2, I type "2"; "3" for template #3, etc.

All the batch files are the same - they just seed a different template into 
the Windows clipboard using the "pipe to clip" Herbert had suggested.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\1.exe
 @Default = c:\path\seedclip_template1.bat
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\2.exe
 @Default = c:\path\seedclip_template2.bat
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\3.exe
 @Default = c:\path\seedclip_template3.bat

Where the general form of the "seed to clip" for templates is
 Win+R > 1
Which then seeds the clipboard with template1.txt

 @echo off
 REM This seeds the Windows clipboard for subsequent pastes
 type C:\path\template1.txt|clip

When you are in any file, you just type "1" into the Runbox, 
and then you Control+V the template from the clipboard into it.

The nice thing is you can create delimiter templates of any length with 
subsequent pastes, so you only really need one set of delimiters.
 @echo off
 REM seedclip.bat seeds the Windows clipboard for subsequent pastes
 (for /l %%i in (1,1,10) do @echo =============================================================================&echo.)|clip
