Tried your good idea Rob:
Created a front page
and used Insert->File->External Material
Inserted the .pdf document, but couldn't get it to be placed on the
first page in either article (KOMA-Script) or book (KOMA-Script)
It always inserted onto page 2 - obviously missing something or doing
something wrong.
Could you please give me a hint what that might be.
As always - Thanks in advance,
Charlie
