Here is the best way, for me, to add code inside word:
go to Insert tab, Text section, click object button (it’s on the right)
choose OpenDocument Text which will open a new embedded word document
copy and paste your code from Visual Studio / Eclipse inside this embedded word page
save and close
The result looks very nice. Here are the advantages of this method:
the code keeps its original layout and colors
the code is separated from the rest of the document, as if it was a picture or a chart
spelling errors won’t be highlighted in the code (this is cool !)
And it takes only few seconds.
Download and install Notepad++ and do the following:
Paste your code in the window;
Select the programming language from the language menu;
Select the text to copy;
Right click and select Plugin commands -> Copy Text with Syntax Highlighting;
Paste it into MS Word and you are good to go!
Update 29/06/2013:
Notepad++ has a plugin called “NppExport” (comes pre-installed) that allows you to copy to RTF, HTML and ALL. It permits dozens of languages, whereas the aforementioned IDEs are limited to a handful each (without other plug-ins).
I use Copy all formats to clipboard and “paste as HTML” in MS word.
