What do you mean by saying "without changing the format of the text in Textarea?" Textareas just contain keyboard characters. No formatting. MS Word documents (and any other word processor documents) contain text and formatting information. The formatting information can't be displayed in a text area.

If you want to include formatting from word processors, you might like this JavaScript WYSIWYG editor I just found: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

It's free and works cross browser.
