Re: Copying code into an email / word doc - without the current line highlighted?

Hi,

I often cut & paste code and past into an email to share...

To remove the current highlighting using MS Outlook, I select the blue line, and select the icon for the "Text Highlight Color" ICON and select none! And the blue outline is gone!
(office-2016)

Optionally, I might paste the code into NotePad++/NotePad, which pastes it without the colors. And then copy and paste from there...

Make sure when you copy that your cursor ends up at the beginning of the next line. Usually you would want to copy the entire row anyway, right?

The only time I see this is when doing a block copy of text.

BTW - what's irritating is that (after marking the text) your cursor has to be in the source (and not before the source line numbers) in order to execute a copy.

A lot of times I use the SHIFT+arrow keys to mark rows of text to copy.

Matt,

Yeah the next line trick works...but is a pain.

Text editor trick works, except as I said...I want the syntax coloring.

Always ensure your cursor is on the next line past the set you want to
copy and not selecting anything.

Another way is to use a text editor to lose the font formatting, etc.
and then repast into word or emails.


Thanks, Matt

I don't recall this being so hard before...

Then again, it's been a while since I wanted to copy source code from
RDi into a word doc or an email.

I want to copy to include the syntax coloring. And it does, however
the "current line" (ie. last line of the block) highlighting also
comes across. Which results in a bright blue line that really can't even be read.

Is there some way to prevent that current line highlighting from being
copied?

Thanks!
Charles
