Copy Spark TextArea Text to another Spark TextArea

Question

How can we copy one spark TextArea to another spark textarea while keeping the formatting. I can retrieve the text but how i can keep the format.

What I am trying achieve is I have two spark text areas , users types in 1 with styles like (bold, italic , underline). Now when user click some additional keys like Ctrl+J or some other keys I want the text in source TextArea to another textarea while keeping the formatting applied.

Thanks in advance for help on this.
