I don't know the solution, but I can make a suggestion, perhaps..<br />
<br />
The way I would approach this is to use the object interface to word. Then I would open the VB document as a text document.<br />
<br />
You could then read in the VB file line by line.<br />
<br />
You'll need to find the first single quote ' outside a pair of double quotes. That'll be the beginning of a comment.<br />
<br />
Make sure you process the line continuation characters _<br />
<br />
Now you can accurately colour lines or parts of lines green (comments)<br />
<br />
The blue colour is going to be a lot more difficult. You may have to make a list of VB reserved keywords etc to achieve this with any degree of accuracy.<br />
<br />
All in all, I do not think this is going to be an easy task.

I need to save my VB code from a form to Word 98 format for some documentation. I need to retain the blue and green colouring used by VB. As VB adds the colours itself, I can't just copy it to the clipboard, as it turns out all black. Any ideas?

Saving VB form code to Word format , retaining colours

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
