I am writing about code that I have written for documentation, mainly in PHP. I also have other languages that I will write about but I am wondering what the easiest way to display code within a word document. I could just import a print screen of a Notepad++ document but I would like an easy way to include code into Microsoft Word without having to print screen it every time I want to make a change. I am looking for something that will allow me to edit the code within word, but obviously not be functional. I would like there to be some sort of visual parsing so that similarly to Notepad++ it is more readable.

You don’t need to print screen in Notepad++. You can export/copy the text as RTF and preserve syntax highlighting and formatting.
I’m not on my PC at the moment, but the option is either under the TextFX menu, or the Plugins menu.
Works very nicely.
Edit:
This menu, press ‘Copy RTF to Clipboard’, and you can paste into Word.
