Here's a sample for your review. Just cut and paste into your browser--I suggest Opera or Firefox. It has not been tested in Internet Explorer (*beep* Bill!)

This code represents the beginnings of a project to turn a pigs ear into a silk purse, i.e., turn a textarea into a rich text editor that runs in the browser so my web clients can do word processing and update their sites.

The code sample sets the layout of the textarea to look like the pages in Microsoft Word. The specific CSS property that you're apparently looking for to style the text is called 'font-family'. Here's the link to the W3C in case you desire a good reference for CSS property information:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html

Note: I haven't figured out how to get text to justify (text-align: justify;), so please ignore that setting. The textarea apparently only supports left, right, and center justification, however, I haven't given up yet.
