If it is decided that this is the way to go, it's not hard to do.  (This 
laptop is Mandriva 2009, so I don't have koffice on here.  I've used KWrite as 
an example).  In just three or four minutes I've put together a sample for you 
to look at on http://userbase.kde.org/User:Annew - ignore the top part: I use 
this page as a scrapbook.

I could quite happily put the pages together and paste the content in, ready 
for updating by you, if this is the best way.
