Thanks for all the replies.
@rjbull: Yeah, clipmate is definitely overkill. I may look into the PowerPro idea if I can find the time before anyone comes up with anything else. Notepad++ works just fine with Unicode. I could use a toolbar designed to work with N++ if I need to, but part of the annoyance is opening a new text file and then specifically having to tell N++ not to save it. With the idea I came up with, the textbox wouldn't try to save it, since it's designed to just be an intermediary. Also, I would still need to setup the global hotkeys through AutoHotkey or something similar. So, I would probably be better off doing the GUI part under AutoHotkey as well.
@ath: Form Letter Machine could probably be configured to give me a list of headers, but it doesn't look like it would do the text capturing that I need.
@AndyM: I'd like to try avoiding MS Word for this if I can.
@Target:The idea of using the textbox and pasting the info into it is so that I can format it as needed in the box, but basically it would look like this:
The reason I thought leaving the formatting free and pasting the headers in is because sometimes multiple headers are used for one clip text like this:
Also, I don't get the all the clip texts for the same heading at the same time, so after getting up to Header 5 or so I may need to go back and add a clip text under Header 2.

Header 1:
Clip Text 1
Clip Text 2
Header 2:
Clip Text 3
Clip Text 4
etc.
The reason I thought leaving the formatting free and pasting the headers in is because sometimes multiple headers are used for one clip text like this:
Header 1 & Header 2:
Clip Text 5
