Matt:
   I don't think it would be that simple.
   You would have to create a bmp in memory the same size
   as piece of paper and draw everything on it that
   would appear on the printed page. Then you would have to
   scale all the pixels to display them properly
   on the screen.
   Yipes !
   Good Luck.
