How to insert code in Word, export to pdf, and keep formatting?

Question

I've written some Python code for my thesis, and wish to add this to my report in Word. I have to hand it in in pdf format. But when I convert the word document, the code cannot be copy pasted and used again, as the tabs are replaced by a single space.

Is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

found the answer: replace all spaces by _ , and possibly make them invisible (white).

If you want to copy paste and use the code, just replace all _ by spaces again.

Solved!
