Need to display Full Content of specific Category posts on Page

I have spent days trying plugins and looking at the codex examples but I am ending up feeling more confused than enlightened.

I have a WP 2.8.4 test site with 67 Pages rather than posts. The templates have been heavily modified from the original default to get the layout I want. The home page is also a ‘static’ page.

Now I want to create one page that when viewed by a site visitor displays the full content of Posts created and assigned to a specific Category. I do not want excerpts, I do not want links To from headlines or titles — I just want for one specific Page that will be the only page where the latest posts assigned to a specific Category are dynamically displayed with the FULL Content of five of the last posts with pagination to another page of posts continuing in the same Pages template.

So, although each post naturally has its own URL where it may be seen conventionally I don’t want to display the POST url as a navigation link initially. I want the Posts to first display full content on a fixed Page dedicated to this category of posts.

I tried to install the Ajaxed WordPress plug-in and it is not only way too much code for what I need but once I activate it and set a couple of modules then my page editing function in the Admin panel stops working completely and I get a 500 warning that says these pages cannot be displayed as a permissions problem. My requests for help on the Ajaxed WordPress plugin forum have not gotten responses.

I also find the Ajaxed WordPress instructions missing the most basic explanation of how to make the plugin operate after Admin setup for inline posts on a specific page and how to specify the category.

But the errors of this plug-in made me disable it.

I also tried the inline posts plugin of aralbalkan but it appears not have to been kept updated for WP 2.8.4 and seems to only allow specifying an ID for a single post.

I tried to use some of the query modifiers I see listed at www.ads-software.com as php statements in the page template I am using for the Posts-in-Pages but get php errors. SO, here I am appealing for a block of php code that I can drop into just one page template in my theme folder. I suppose it would look something like this to start with below but I also want it to paginate into successive blocks of 5 posts per page. I am leaving out the php open and close statements–

query_posts('category_name=The Category Name&post_status=publish&orderby=title&order=ASC'&posts_per_page=5');

Right now I have managed to get posts to show up using some other code but just one post per page and not in the category I need.

Or, is there a plugin that simply allows all this to be setup in Admin and then drop the bracketed short code into the Page itself?

Thanks for responses that actually post possible answers!
