Sounds like an approach, though I don't have any idea how that could be accomplished given the different layout engines. However, I fear that too many tweaks exist in application code because of all those "in my Excel|Word|PowerPoint it is a pixel taller/smaller" complaints. While the casual user maybe could be convinced that now we do it the right way, for forms and legal or professional documents this may indeed be a problem, especially if a print-out suddenly consists of less pages or forms aren't lined up with pages anymore.
