I need to get my code (Python 2.7 written in the Python IDE) into a word document for my dissertation but I am struggling to find a way of copying it in and keeping the formatting, I've tried paste special and had no luck. The only way I've found so far is screenshoting but with just over 1000 lines of code this is proving very laborious.

Select the portion of code you'd like to copy, then go the Edit menu and select Copy Special -> Copy as RTF. Your code, complete with syntax highlighting colors, is now stored on the clipboard. Simply press Ctrl + V in your other application to paste the code with syntax highlighting. It's that simple!
Go to Insert tab, Text section, click Object button (it's on the right) Choose OpenDocument Text which will open a new embedded word document. Copy and paste your code from Visual Studio / Eclipse inside this embedded word page. Save and close.
After trying every method I still had problems then came across this!, basically copy and paste your code and select what language it is (e.g. python, java, ...), and it will kick out the formatted and coloured version ready to be pasted into word :-)
Code to Word and keep formatting

To fix this, instead of directly copying and pasting, use Insert -> Object -> OpenDocument Text. The second option is to create a style for your code.
