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.
