Computer code in Technical report

[ivrytwr3]

Anyone know how to add computer code to a Word doc whilst still retaining the spacing, the colour coding etc

Similar to the example below where the user has added the code and their own comments in green.



When I copy and paste, my code is all black. Googling tells me to "insert object" into Word - same result. Screenshot is clumsy...........

Any ideas?

I'm rusty but you need to close those parentheses!

So short hand - you need at least 3 new lines at the bottom each with a } in them

Isn't this just a matter of pasting it in and then changing it all to a non proportional font such as Courier New?

You might also want to remove all existing formatting. So I would copy/paste to notepad first to remove formatting. Then copy/paste to word and changing to Courier New.

This is what I've always done

you get points on how easy it is understood, ie visualisation of text.
