Default Inserting text into numerous cells for many different files

Still looking for help on this.

All different workbooks.

Not sure what you mean by a 'specific condition that will cause entry'. Each
column has a header cell to identify it with.

Each of the cells already has (varying) text and I need to insert one
character at the beginning of each cell for both columns. All cells are
congruant (no blank cells in between) other than one empty (header only)
column between the two.

Are all of the sheets on the same workbook, or are these 255 different
workbooks?

This may or may not fall into the Macro category. It is the only thing I am
aware of that can repeat the same job, but not sure if this qualfies.

I need to insert the same text into multiple cells for about 250 different
Excel spreadsheets. Each sheet is set up the same (columns and rows), but
vary in the number of cells that need the text (sometimes 2, sometimes 15).
All cells fall under the same 2 columns though.

Is there a way to creat a macro for this task? I've done a few macros
before, but nothing like this.

Is there some other tool I should be looking into?
