It's not perfect but in Word I use a special "Code" style I created: 8 point (well, at least, smaller than body) text, your favorite monospaced font and tight line spacing. I almost always need to print the document out in landscape (sometimes landscape on legal paper) but it generally works pretty well. No color-coding tho'. You have to sometimes tweak long lines (although if you need more space it's almost always a sign that that line is too long to begin with). Here's a Blog I came across that has a lot of comments on this topic - mostly from the angle of using VS.net - apparently if you copy and paste from VS.net into Word it maintains it's color-coding: http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/archive/2004/10/05/238427.aspx This online tool might also work but my experience with copying out of it has been mixed at best: http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/ Overall I've not found a perfectly easy solution, but I get by.
