You have two options, either you can simply call one of the setText functions from a function within another form like this:

otherForm->setPlainText(text);

Or you could connect the two forms with signals like this:

connect(form1, SIGNAL(updateText(const QString&)),
        form2->myTextEdit, SLOT(setText(const QString&)))

Either of these are valid ways to do it.

myTextEdit->setPlainText(text), myTextEdit->setHtml(text) or by directly modifying the editor's QTextDocument instance.
