Syntax highlighting in Microsoft Office Word?

Question

How do I easily highlight the syntax of PHP code in Word? I need to paste some code (ANSI C) in Microsoft Office Word, and I need some form of syntax highlighting (instead of simply changing the font to `Lucida Console`). Is there some sort of addon maybe that will let me highlight code syntax in Microsoft Office Word?

Answer 1

What I have done for these kind of assignments is copy the code from VSCode editor.

The syntax highlighting from VSCode (and whatever theme you are using) is preserved when you copy and paste into Microsoft Word.

An alternate solution is to use LaTeX with the listings package.

For a very primitive solution, you can also just screenshot your editor and just paste this image into Word, obviously this is not ideal.
