Copying and pasting scratch code into a word document

SamPeanut

I am trying to make a manual for someone about scratch coding and I would like to copy an example of some code (from a project) and paste it in the Word manual. Is there an easy way to do this? I could snag-it but that way is very slow.
Thanks in advance

You could screenshot it.

maybe you can ctrlc ctrlv but I have never tried it

Thanks for your responses but the screen shots will be even slower than using snag-it and ctrl-c and ctrl-c do not seem to work for me. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

3. You can get a text version of the code using the following steps:
Hold down shift and click File on the menu in Scratch
Choose Write Project summary
Choose a folder and file name to save the text file with scripts for all the sprites in one file.
Open the .txt file in Wordpad to get an easy to print version of all scripts in the project as well as other useful information like revision history and summary of sprites and sounds used

Wow I didn't know I could get all that information in one file. Thanks I will use that for sure. What I was looking for was a way to easily cut and past the block images in to a word document. I know I have done it before I just can't remember how I did it (face palm). Does anyone know how people paste in to forum comments? Maybe I could use the same way?
Thanks for your tip KingOfAwesome

The forums use BBcode, and I don't think that will work in word. Basically you type a code like this:
[scratchblocks]
move (10) steps
set [foo v] to [5]
[/scratchblocks]

Ok thanks wolf. I used to create workbooks with blocks a couple of years ago (without typing what you described) maybe they have stopped that. Thanks for your response I appreciate it.

The Windows Snipping Tool is the easy way to cut and paste sections of the screen.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions. Good idea footsocktoe I will have to try that I think.

I would use a screenshot, or look up the block but search : “scratch block _______ transparent background”.
Hope this helps!

Make today so awesome yesterday gets jealous.

I will give it a go Holirocks. I found out that The function of copying blocks from games was around in version 1.4 of scratch but is no longer available in version 2.0. That's why I can remember doing it more easily in the past. Anyway, thanks for all the good suggestions.
