Hi fellow developer! In this article, we will answer the question: How do you Display Code Snippets in Microsoft Word?
The Sample code snippet we want to include in a Word document
Below, you can see an example of a code snippet to be included in our Word document:
SELECT * FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.ID=t2.ID; GO
The above code snippet is actually an SQL statement and we want to include it in a word document as a snippet.
How to include the code snippet in a Word document
The easiest way to include the above code snippet in a Word document, is to insert it as an object.
Therefore, in order to do this, you need to follow the below steps, within your Word document:
- Navigate to the “Insert” tab in the Word ribbon (menu)
- Click on “Object”
- Select “OpenDocument Text” and click OK – a new Word window/doc launches:
- Within the new Word window:
- Type or paste your code with no spacing
- Select all text and add a border (outside borders)
- Select all text and add shading (grey for example)
- Exit the document
- After you perform the above, you can see that you will return to the original Word document, and this time, a formatted code snippet box with the text you pasted/typed, will be displayed.
