Question Pasting Word Doc into Text Area

I need to do the above, allow a client to write something in Word then paste it into a text area so they can send it to clients. However when they paste it in, it pastes non breaking spaces between all the words and so ends up stretching the email because there are no actual spaces to make it wrap. Does anybody know how I can get around this. (and also if its possible to paste formatting from word into text area without having something fancy like an actual text editor on the page. Thanks.

I don't know how it got there... I probably copied the replace code from elsewhere and copied that with me. That'll teach me for copying.
