Without user interaction it would be best to store the infos in the meta
format used by Adobe attached to all their documents, but the documentation
how to use it via scripting is rather... um, not existing. So for your need
I would create an own master page, there you could make some sort of form
where the user can find the info and easily alter it. But then you must
think in your code of the stupid users that may destroy this integrity of
this form.
