Word – Are there any plugins for Microsoft Word to format source code samples inside a regular document

You may use source highlighting services and copy / paste to Word document. I think it will be the fastest way (upd. simple copypaste from VS will also works).

The second way is to create a style for code block, save it and then apply to all code blocks.

Create a new style that formats the text the way you want. The style will likely need to include:

• setting the font to a monospaced font like Courier New
• setting the language to No Proofing (Word 2003 and older) or Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar (Word 2007 and newer)
• setting the font size to something smaller; often code won't fit well on a page unless you make it smaller

To use this, select the text and change the style. All the formatting attributes will be applied at once.

Save the style in the normal.dot template (the default) so that it's available in all documents.

If you need to do this often, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the text so you don't have to select the style from the style menu. You don't need a separate program to do this. In Word 2007

• Click the Office button.
• Click the Word Options button (at the bottom of the menu)
• Select Customize from the menu on the left.
• Click the Keyboard Shortcuts: Customize button at the bottom.
• In the Categories list, scroll down until you find Styles (second from the bottom) and select it.
• In the Styles list, select the style you created.
• Click in the Press New Shortcut key box.
• Type the key combination you wish to use (e.g. Alt 1)
• Click the Assign button
• Click Close

When you close Word it may ask if you want to save the normal template. Answer Yes.
