I'm wondering if it's possible to print MS Word documents to a mobile printer (via Bluetooth?) while maintaining the correct format and layout of the document.

Here's the reason: My dad gives proposals while out in the field, but he cannot type fast enough. The idea is for him to go to his truck, call me here at the office and dictate what needs to be written to me while I type the proposal then email it to him for him to print in his truck.

I've looked into wireless cards for laptops but really just not wanting to commit to that type of cost ($60/month?) right now. It would need to maintain the same page layout because of our letterhead and such which is on the document. So if this is possible, what phones could manage this?

Thanks

He likes to give proposals before leaving the customer's home. We deal mainly in siding, windows, gutter, painting, shutters and general carpentry.

Thanks for the quick replies. He's been wanting to upgrade to a smartphone anyway, so I figured this way it would just be a matter of choosing the right phone for the task. I'll look into the netbook option, but if I know him, he won't be on board with the cost of a wireless card.

I like this Google Docs idea. I just opened one of the proposal sheets as Google Doc and it altered the layout a little bit, but perhaps it's something I can work with.

Thanks for the input
