I think you can get a very close approximation of a current document 
using HTML.  YOu have to remember that the browsers format the screens 
you see so that they will vary from computer screen to computer screen 
depending upon the size of the screen.  The same is true depending upon 
the margins set up on the printers.

So you can get a very close copy, but you can't always be sure it will 
show up on everyones screen or printout exactly the way you see it.

Good luck.
