You open, copy and paste from 1800-2300 pagemaker files per catalog? 
With Indesign you could simply place other Indesign files, no copying 
and pasting, The ads could be automatically centered inside a frame (ad 
box). You would have a bit more of a conversion process than most 
people, but Indesign would cut down on your production time.

You could use pdfs created from your existing pagemaker ads as a 
transition, converting the new/changed ads to indesign as needed. I'm 
pretty sure you can script the creation of pdf s from your pagemaker 
documents. Indesign's handling of pdf files is way better than pagemaker
