    Place cursor at the beginning of the first line you want to change.
    Press <CTRL>v
    Move the cursor down to the last line you want to change.
    Press I (The capital letter after H and before J)
    Type in the text you wish to insert
    Press <ESC>

    Now all lines selected should show the inserted text.
