The simple trick I use to is to define a named style, with the requisite
font (usu Courier New), paragraph spacing (usu 10), indentation, etc. I
also set the language to 'none' to switch off spell checking. I also
define a 'spacing' paragraph style, with a small font size, to go just
before and after program code, to get nice spacing. I then simply set
program code paragraphs to the above named style.
Bold is easy to get: Ctrl+B to switch it on/off when typing; highlight text
then Ctrl+B to do it retroactively.

I just set up a paragraph style called "code" that uses courier new, etc. Then
I apply it to the code text in the document. Works reasonbly well.
Of course if your looking to bold-face keywords you could write a macro or VBA
module to do a search and replace based on style and affecting only text with
the "code" style.
In that case I would suggest also creating character styles for keywords,
comments, etc. that only affect the font and style (bold, italic, etc.)
I may just try this myself...hmm

Agreed. This is the easy part.

This is the hard part. I don't have the patience (or accuracy) to
select several hundred keywords in a hundred lines of code and press
Ctrl+B for each one. That's what I'd like a macro or VB script to
do for me.

I have an Ada program that translates Ada code into RTF and puts reserved
words in bold and comments in italic. The RTF can then be imported into word.
I can post it if there is interest. Mail me.

I'm interested. Would you reply with/post the source?
