Hi,

Reading kde-cvs I've been quite fascinated with the way in which dcop 
interfaces have been added to various places in KOffice. I don't know a great 
deal about dcop at the moment (I'm going to read up on it tonight :)), but I 
presume that I could do something like tell KWord "I want a table 3 rows by 3 
columns on line x" and it could do it?

If so, I would quite like to work on some kind of templates wizard, a bit like 
the page wizards in MS Publisher.

The way I'm thinking is some kind of extensible wizard (based on KWizard?) 
that would ask the user relevant options for the kind of document they were 
creating e.g. for business cards, you'd be asked the name, address, phone 
number, etc.

Does this sound like a good idea? :) Does anybody have any ideas how some kind 
of generic template framework (based on XML files to describe?) could be put 
in place to implement wizards?
