You can do this with Rich Text Format - RTF.
The Rich Text Format (RTF) standard is a method of encoding formatted text and graphics for easy transfer between MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, Next and Apple Macintosh applications.
RTF - Provides a standard across platforms
The RTF standard provides a format for text and graphics interchange that can be used with different output devices, operating environments, and operating systems. Formatting, font information, text color, and some page layout information is transferred intact.
RTF uses the ANSI, PC-8, Macintosh, or IBM PC character set to control the representation and formatting of a document, both on the screen and in print. With the RTF standard, you can transfer documents created under different operating systems and with different software.
