Sublime Text 2 Paste with Colors to MS Word

Question

I would like to paste my code to a word document while preserving the highlighted, colored texts. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You can install highlight plugin and then use SublimeHighlight: copy to clipboard as RTF command from the command palette.

If you want to use your own color scheme use ExportHTML plugin to export to html and copy and paste the html in MS Word. HTMLExport can be configured to use any of your installed color schemes. just read the docs and look at the default settings.

Use a browser like Safari that can copy in RTF to the clipboard. For me chrome does not work.

Customizing the Theme (OPTIONAL):

1. go to Preferences --> Package Settings --> SublimeHighlight --> Settings-User.

2. paste this code

   { "theme": "fruity", "linenos": "inline", "noclasses": true, "fontface": "Menlo"  } 

Here, I have used the "fruity" theme, you can choose whatever you like. These are all possible themes:

Set Hotkey (OPTIONAL)

In the next code, I have set the CTRL+ALT+C to copy the text with formatting, you can do that following these few steps:

1. Go to Preferences --> Key Bindings-User.

   

2. Paste this code:

   { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+c"],   "command": "sublime_highlight",   "args": { "target": "clipboard",             "output_type": "rtf" }}, 

   ` Now whenever you copy a text with CTRL+C, it will be copied without formatting and with CTRL+ALT+C, it will be copied with coloring :)
