A practical guide. C # source with syntax highlighting on PowerPoint slides

Question

I want to show some C # source code in a PowerPoint presentation. But how can I copy the code , including syntax highlighting on slides? I could take screenshots, but it has some disadvantages (ugly, font size, heavy). Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

• copy code from Visual Studio to PowerPoint
• select "keep original formatting" on the "Insert Options" icon

Answer 2

If I copy the code from Visual Studio directly to PowerPoint using the Paste Special (and selecting RTF), it only does some formatting.
This is how I got it for formatting.

• Copy the code in Visual Studio. ( Ctrl + C )
• Open a new Word document and paste. ( Ctrl + V )
• Re-select the code in Word and copy it again. ( Ctrl + A , Ctrl + C )
• In PowerPoint, click the special "Insert" tab as "HTML format." ( Ctrl + Alt + V )

Answer 3

Paste Special (Ctrl + Alt + V) will do this. This option is available in different places depending on your version of PowerPoint.

Answer 4

• in PPT, click "Insert" → "Object" → "Create New" → "Microsoft Word Document"
• Copy your code into the newly created object in the PPT slides,
• Now you will see the formatting and highlight.

Answer 5

You can use the Windows Live Writer with the Insert Code plugin to "write" C # code and syntax to highlight it. This must be copied and accessible in PowerPoint, as it includes all syntax highlighting using style elements.

Answer 6

In Notepad ++ 6.9.2 or higher, right-click the text and select Plugin Commands and Copy Text with Syntax Highlighting .

Answer 7

Copy and paste the code into WordPad, then copy from the text input panel to where you want, and save the original formatting
