Default Issues Register construction?

Word 2003 on XP
I wish to create a document that will hold a register of issues, each issue
will be one page long and have a small table at the top which will contain
the Issue data, such Issue Number, Date Raised, Raised By, Status,
Description, etc. Under this table will be the ongoing comments/actions.
Several questions really.
1. I don't want to use a form because this document will be handed over to
someone else to edit and update as required, as well as add new Issues as
they arise, and being a protected form negates this function (I believe).
Also I am not too hot on Forms ;-) [if you hadn't of guessed!]
2. At the front of the document will be a summary of all the Issues, which
will be populated automatically from tables on the individual pages.
3. Everytime a new Issue is raised, an new (sequential) number is
automatically entered into the Number cell.

I am used to StyleRef, etc. but because the Issue page will be copied for
new issues, using styles will not work.
Do someone know of a possible template that already does this on the
interweb somewhere?
What would be the best way/ways to accomplish this?

Many thanks
