I would advocate that you try a screen capture program like
at http://www.jasc.com (4 windoze)
It would give the ability to print out the whole window or doc area or
text area. Lease screen capture in background then while viewing
the document you press a specified f key and alt.
Unfortunately that means that your enduser has to have the program.

Oh well
