Is there a way to 'copy as rtf' as in Programmers Notepad or SciTE as
demonstrated here:

?

I want to copy the text along with the syntax high lighting to paste into
word and power point.

I haven't been able to find any plugins that do it.

Hello Antony,

you could use

to do the job if you select Eclipse IDE as colour theme.

This just works for me:
* Mark some text in some Eclipse editor, copy it.
* Paste it into MS Word
-> It gets pasted with all the formatting it had in the editor.

It has been that way since at least 3.2 .

Ok. Now I feel really stupid - thanks! ;)

Problem was, I was trying to paste directly into Power Point, which
doesn't work with anything anyway - only works if you paste into word
first, _then_ PP(2002), but also in PP you have to go 'paste special' and
choose RTF.

Ok well if this works so well - wouldn't it also be easy to write
something that copies it to the clip board using html instead? I suppose
you could export from work as html. but can eclipse do it?

Ok - if this works so well, is there a simple 'export snippit as html'?
Paste into word -> save as HTML works ~~ok.

Is there a plugin for that?
