Get contents of Long text Area from one object to other

How can I create a formula to get the contents of Long Text Area field from object__1 to Long text Area field of object__2. Is this Possible? There is a parent child relationship between the two objects.
I am doing this to make a merge field in an email template.

 

Thanks !!

You can write a tirgger on child object, and get the value from parent.

 

Or you can write a formula field on child which returns text and refer to parent in adavance formula child_FieldName__r.Parent_FieldName

 

But I am not sure if it works with Long Text Area

Thanks for your response.

 

I had tried the formula before it does't work, I will try workflow first, before I try the trigger.

Ok, I tried a workflow and it worked. I will also try this with trigger.
