If you can use ASP, Active Server Pages, you could use an include file.
simply use the code:

<!-- #include FILE="yourtextfilename.txt" -->

inserted where you want the text to appear in your page.

These are collectively known as Server Side Includes, SSIs so whichever
technology you are using, look to SSIs.

luck
