if i wanted to do this without writing a script i would:
create real simple document
with at least one font and one color
open it in a text editor
cut and paste and do some find and replace tricks
it might be easiest to do this externally to Abiword and just import the
result rather than trying to do it through scripting Abiword.

maybe there is some programming or scripting language you do know and
could generate the document using that instead?
Good luck figuring this out
