In this simple case, ensuring that every exercise fits on one page 
of size A5 (half page of size A4).  In more advanced brochure 
examples, the nice and readable layout.

The fact is, I have an ODT file. This will not change. The 
question is, can Wikimedia Commons handle this or do I have to 
start a separate project?

It is actually no different from JPEG images.  You can edit them 
with Photoshop or GIMP or any other program.  And the Open 
Document Format is open so it can be edited with any software, 
including OpenOffice.org or Microsoft Office.

The main difference is that the PDF that I can upload, cannot 
easily be edited.
