Go to http://hilite.me/ and copy from the preview pane directly to word (tested with MS Word2007). Supports line numbering, but not well. Quite good for snippets.

One way is to copy & paste directly from Eclipse. It preserves all the color formatting.

But what about line numbering ? – Jury A Aug 11 '12 at 12:46
Sadly Eclipse displays but does not copy line numbers. – Reimeus Aug 11 '12 at 12:52
I initially try Selecting All the contents from my Java file in Eclipse and didnt work. I copied only class information and no imports (Like around ~100 lines) and it worked. Microsoft Word 2011 – gogasca May 03 '16 at 08:24
Works for Intellij IDEA too :) – Mate Šimović Mar 25 '17 at 15:02

- Well you can directly copy the things from an IDE to your Word Document.

- And please make sure that you have switched on the Line Numbering of the Editor in the IDE before copying the code.

try to use this: http://quickhighlighter.com/

select with the line numbers copy and paste

You can also use another online formatting tools, (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/206441/online-code-beautifier-and-formatter) but if you want the coloring to work after inserting to a word document, the highlihted source code html source must be inline styled.

You can copy with colors, but first you have to open all fold otherwise colors gone.
Line numbering copy is not working from Eclipse.
