Paste from MS Word document to a Web Form

What is the most common way people preserve basic formatting elements like bold emphasis and italics when copying to a textarea from an MS Word document. I noticed that Gmail does this well and StackOverflow does not. Are there common frameworks that do this?

Probably one of the most common rich text controls used is FCKEditor (now, thank God, named CKEditor). It does a really great job at preserving format when pasting from Word.

We use FreeTextBox as a replacement for multiline textarea's in ASP.NET, the rich text entered here retains its formatting when cut and pasted into word.
