Nope you don't have to edit every single page as below is one way..
You could do it this way, to only have a menu appear for static pages with your chosen static pages, this would show only within static pages areas.

{if $page_content ne ''}Your Menu Here Top Or Side or your include file with your menu horizontal or at the site for static pages only
{/if}

YOU CHOOSE WHERE TO HAVE ABOVE CODE DISPLAYED, FOR TESTING ON MY LOCAL HOST I HAVE IT AT TOP ABOVE BREADCRUMBS..

It can be configured further, but that's the basic, so you could have a lovely neat menu at top for example displaying all your links within your chosen pages
