title pages

[Angus Leeming]

Enboldened by my sucess with the previous question, here's a second.

Attched is a small (3kB) file that creates a sample header page. I've 
followed Herbert's HOWTO on the help pages to get this far and, indeed, it 
looks very good. However, it's a right royal pain to write. Even I can type 
more quickly than LyX can update the screen in a table inside a table. And 
all that ERT!

Is there some package that can do something similar with less magic from me?
