I am using an IDE (integrated development environment) with forms 6i. I would like to copy the code from the Forms pl/sql editor into a word doc (or Word pad or whatever)and keep the code's colors. I have tried everything. Any suggestions?

It is the editor that recognizes certain keywords and paints them to certain colors.

I *know* that code copied from TOAD remains its colors when copy-pasted to MS Word. On the other hand, code copied from Forms editor doesn't. I really wouldn't know why is that so (i.e. what difference does TOAD make from Forms in that matter).

I think the bottom line here is that you can't.
However forms does its formatting windows copy doesn't recognize it. When I copy stuff from forms it doesn't even keep the font never mind the colour coding, so I guess it's copying it as plain ascii text.
