Thanks for the feedback. Yeh I figured that I would be losing stuff like
the bulleted items. One of the good things is that it seems to at least be
keeping the numbered items. I had tried using the replace with chr(1) &
chr(13) trick but it didn't seem to give me any more formatting then
paragraphformat(). I did a little more research and although not 100% of
what I was looking for, but at least a good chunk, the <pre> tags allow me
to keep the text pretty much as I see it in my textfield when I paste the
text in there...
Thanks,

Textarea fields are plain text, which means that they would automatically
lose any formatting.
If you want it to handle the bullets, indents etc. properly, then you need
to buy an editor like ActiveEdit or eWebEditPro.
If you just want to handle the carriage returns, then output
Replace(myString,chr(13)&Chr(10),"<br>","All")
which will change all hard returns into <br>s
