To do this, create a new Word document or open an existing one. Click the “Insert” tab and then click the “Explore Quick Parts” button in the “Text” section. Select “Building Blocks Organizer” on the drop-down menu. The “Building Blocks Organizer” dialog box displays.
Here are all the cursive script fonts from Microsoft Windows I managed to find:. Brush Script — brush script. Edwardian Script — copperplate script. Freestyle Script — cursive brush script. French Script — cursive script with chancery elements.
What is a 'Block' style font on Microsoft Word? Click the Edit-Select All menu item. Click the Format-Font menu item. Find your font and select it.
On this page: fonts (screenshots) fonts (text list) dingbats (dingbats, wingdings, webdings & bullets) I've found that everytime I need to start a design project, it helps to have a list of fonts in front of me so I don't have to try various ones (very time-consuming!). I made a list of the fonts on my desktop and what they look like.

Beside that, you can see the other Creepy Fonts On Microsoft Word here, such as microsoft word fonts, horror fonts on microsoft word and halloween double feature font. It's possible to put anything you like, change the details and make your corrections.

Does anyone know a way to display code in Microsoft Word documents that preserves coloring and formatting? Preferably, the method would also be unobtrusive and easy to update.

I have tried to include code as regular text which looks awful and gets in the way when editing regular text. I have also tried inserting objects, a WordPad document and Text Box, into the document then putting the code inside those objects. The code looks much better and is easier to avoid while editing the rest of the text. However, these objects can only span one page which makes editing a nightmare when several pages of code need to be added.

Lastly, I know that there are much better editors/formats that have no problem handling this but I am stuck working with MS word.

Here is the best way, for me, to add code inside word:

go to Insert tab, Text section, click object button (it's on the right)
choose OpenDocument Text which will open a new embedded word document
copy and paste your code from Visual Studio / Eclipse inside this embedded word page
save and close

The result looks very nice. Here are the advantages of this method:

the code keeps its original layout and colors
the code is separated from the rest of the document, as if it was a picture or a chart
spelling errors won't be highlighted in the code (this is cool !)

And it takes only few seconds.

Download and install Notepad++ and do the following:

Paste your code in the window;
Select the programming language from the language menu;
Select the text to copy;
Right click and select Plugin commands ->Copy Text with Syntax Highlighting;
Paste it into MS Word and you are good to go!

Update 29/06/2013:

Notepad++ has a plugin called 'NppExport' (comes pre-installed) that allows you to copy to RTF, HTML and ALL. It permits dozens of languages, whereas the aforementioned IDEs are limited to a handful each (without other plug-ins).

I use Copy all formats to clipboard and 'paste as HTML' in MS word.

After reading a lot of related answers, I came across my own solution, which for me is the most suitable one.

Result looks like this:

As you can see, it is the same syntax highlighting like on Stack Overflow which is quite awesome.

Steps to reproduce:

on Stack Overflow

Goto Ask Question (preferably with Chrome)
Paste Code and add a language tag (e.g. Java) to get syntax hightlighting
Copy code from preview

in Word

Insert > Table > 1x1
Paste code
Table Design > Borders > No Border
Select code > Edit > Find > Replace
Search Document ^p (Paragraph Mark)Replace With ^l (Manual Line Break)
(This is required to remove the gaps between some lines)
Select code again > Review > Language > check 'Do not check spelling or grammar'
Finally add a caption using References > Insert Caption > New Label > name it 'Listing' or sth

There is a nice Online Tool for that : http://www.planetb.ca/syntax-highlight-word

Just copy the generated code and paste it in your word editing software. So far I've tried it on MS Word and WPS Writer, works really well.Doesn't play nice with Firefox but works just fine on Chrome (and IE too, but who wants to use that).

One of the main benefits is that, unlike the Code Format Add-In for Word, it does NOT mess with your code, and respects various languages syntax.I tried many other options offered in other answer but I found this one to be the most efficient (quick and really effective).

There is also another onlinz tool quoted in another answer (markup.su) but I find the planetB output more elegant (although less versatile).

When I've done this, I've made extensive use of styles. It helps a lot.

What I do is create a paragraph style (perhaps called 'Code Example' or something like that) which uses a monospaced font, carefully chosen tabs, a very light grey background, a thin black border above and
