I have to say that when I was writing code I used a text editor rather than a word processor. So, MS Word and OOo are word processors even though they
can save files as plain text whereas Notepad and Wordpad are text editors
even though Wordpad can save files in RTF which is a restricted sort of word processor document. For code, if you're not using an IDE and assuming you're
on Windows, I'd use either PSPAD (http://www.pspad.com/) or Notepad++
(http://notepad-plus-plus.org/). Both are free and very configurable. Both have Java syntax handling "in the box". Both can be installed on a USB stick
or similar without touching the Windows Registry.


Thank you Harold. I actually code in VIM but recently I have had to
write about code and Open Office is the natural place to write about
anything. Therefore I have small (5-20 LOC) code snippets in a
formatted text document.

Dotan,

Ah. How about formatting the code in a "proper" code handler and then copy/paste-ing the result into your document?

Regards, Harold
