You've received replies for indenting.
To insert arbitrary text, look at the rectangle commands. In
particular, after defining a rectangle with all the lines of interest
and of zero width starting in the first column:
C-x r t runs the command string-rectangle
which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `rect'.
Replace rectangle contents with STRING on each line.
The length of STRING need not be the same as the rectangle width.
