Printing Formatted Text

I'm building an Aware program that inputs user's text responses into a form.
The form contains text that is formatted (the formatting is actually very
simple - mostly just a bolded and multiple-sized font).  I would like the
user to be able to print out the form, with their inputted text in the
correct locations on the form, and not lose any of the form's formatting.
The only way I can do this now is by writing the user's text to an Ascii
text file - which cannot  be formatted.

Is it a better solution for me to build the form in Authorware's display
window, and then allow the user to print the displayed screen, after they
enter their text?

I've looked through a lot of Authorware resources on the web and I am still
unable to find any information on this.  Can somebody please let me know if
this is even possible, and how I can get started in building in this
functionality.

Thanks, any help is appreciated.
