Is there a code editor that will allow copying of syntax highlighting to an Office Document for Windows?

I want to be able to copy code into a Word doc or EMail and preserve the Formatting when explaing code changes.

I will need support for multiple languages including C, C++, TCL, Javascript, Basic, and couple others.

The ability to include the line numbers for reference purposes would be a nice additional feature. I had one customer that required all code to be submitted with line numbers in a Word or PDF document.

    I used Notepad++ in the past. It has a plug-in called NppExport and I think it has everything you need. The catch is that you have to write/open your source files with Notepad++, then export them to rtf, open the rtf and copy the pretty-formatted text to your doc file.
    Here is the link to Notepad++ and to a good article to get you started with NppExport plugin.
