I'm writing an article and I would to maintain notepad++ syntax highlight when I paste a code block into word. The code is all in SQL, and I would very much like to the way it is formatted.

Also, print-screen and cut/paste the images is NOT an option.

Any ideas?

Check out the section on NppExport. Seems to be what you're looking for ("Copy as RTF")

The link in the original answer does not work anymore, but the NppExport plugin can be found here: sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/NppExport – quosoo Nov 13 '11 at 15:15

It happens to be the case that NppExport ships with notepad++. Check your Plugins -> NppExport menu for options to copy RTF snippets to the clipboard.

Visual Studio, for C# code (so, and, I assume for SQL), will include HTML formatting when copy'n'pasting code into something which understands HTML.

Another option is to use a general-purpose syntax highlighter like Pygment or GeSHi to convert a piece of source code into HTML markup. Then you can similarly copy and paste the highlighted code into any type of word processor that understands HTML. – Lèse majesté Jul 28 '10 at 18:25
