Having a page by page configuration

Hi everybody. I'm looking for a solution to make CKEditor "Word-like", I mean, I want to have an automatic page by page mode.
When the user types text, insert tables, images, ... I want CKeditor manages automatically break-pages following the good size of an A4 in portait mode. Obviously, I want the screen render to be exactly like the print render (the user must know when a page break occurs)
Is there any plugin to do that ? or is it easy according to you to create a pluging for that (i dont think so but ...?)

Thank you

Guillaume

I'm afraid this is not what a

I'm afraid this is not what a true HTML WYSIWYG editor can give you due to the sheer difference of Web vs print media. See this ticket where one of our developers explains why this cannot (and will not) be implemented: http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/9932#comment:1

It depends what you're asking

It depends what you're asking. If you want to copy paste from Word and have a page break (print break?) for every Word page, then it's not doable. Two different technologies at work. If you want to set a specific amount of lines or characters before automatically adding a print break, then try using changeEvent somehow.

Thanks for replying. We need

Thanks for replying. We need to show as page by page layout like Word. The automatic page break must be inserted when the current page is full. Also we want to build the ability to set page size like A4,B12,A6. Once the page size is set, all the contents in the editor must be split into pages with a page break as per set page size. Please help me get started !!

Thanks a ton.
