Text area formatting

I have an text area field for the description of my case.
<apex:inputTextArea label="Description" value="{!Case.Description}" cols="120" rows="10" />

and for the view the output is as follows:
<apex:outputText label="Description" value="{!Case.Description}" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space: normal" />

If I enter a lot of information with brakes or any type of formatting, after I save it, it turns into a one paragraph, no format at all.
I tried the word wrap CSS style, but still doing the same thing. Any ideas?

Did you use it as OutputText or OutputField?

Use it directly as <apex:outputField label="Description" value="{!Case.Description1}" />

Hi Adilewa

Create a new field on Case Object of type "Rich Text", and don't add it to pagelayout. Just use this field for displaying value on visualforce page.
Now assign the description value to this new field and use this new field on visualforce page and i am sure, text will come perfectly alligned.

So, I created a new rich text field and called it Description1, leave the view to all profiles, and didn't add it to any page layout.
Then I added it to my visualforce pages, still same thing. I also tried the richtext="true" attribute, but still not working... :_(
However, it does add the after saving it.

Sorry, one more question, how about when binding a controller property to an outputfield to get the same response?
I'm getting the next following message: Error: Could not resolve the entity from <apex:outputField> value binding '{!comment.commentText}'. <apex:outputField> can only be used with SObjects, or objects that are Visualforce field component resolvable.

You cannot do it. We cannot bind outputField with controller property. Regards Mohit Bansal
