Print perfect web word processor ?

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for a web based word processor. I'd like something that prints exactly what the user sees on the screen.

It's for an internal app so i don't need something available only throught the Internet.

Thanks.

You will find it very very hard to have a consistent experience on screen and on users's computers. If you can control the environment to a point where you can force all users to use the same browser on the same OS you'll be fine, otherwise you should try a more hybrid approach. Something that can have slight print variations but also works fine.

Google Docs uses a verry interesting method for presenting the info to the user before printing. They convert your page to a PDF, prior to printing and there you can see exactly what will be printed or not. If you're good to go, shot. If not you can come back to the textarea and keep iterating.
