How to give color to your code in open-office-writer?

Question

I have code blocks written in Open Office Write and want colorize it. How can I do this?

EDIT: When I copy syntax-highlighted code back to open office writer it becomes black again. How can I change this?

Is it because you are using OO as your code editor? Don't. Is it because you want to publish syntax colored code samples in broader document? That will take some fiddling... (or I could just let Mark Byers post an answer;) — msw, Apr 24 '10 at 08:05
Editors, please add `open-office` and `syntax-highlighting` tags. Possible duplicate: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2556862/syntax-highlighting-in-ms-word-document — Xavier Ho, Apr 24 '10 at 08:09
@msw OO isn't my editor. :) Don't worry. @Xavier Ho I forget the word syntax-highlighting. English isn't my mother tongue. Sorry and thanks! My question isn't a duplicate. How can I get syntax highlighted OO? — kame, Apr 24 '10 at 08:24
I had some trouble with installing the plugin coooders. But now it works. — kame, Apr 24 '10 at 11:33

I think you need to take a look at coooder plugin for LibreOffice(OpenOffice).

@BozhidarBatsov Your link is now dead. I realize it has been four years since you posted it though :) However it would perhaps be more useful to future readers if you included the name of the plugin in your answer instead of just an "anonymous" link. I can see from the URL that it is 'coooder' and thanks for that it's what I needed! – Juicy Apr 23 '14 at 23:42

You could try pygments.

I know this works for MS Word, but it may also work for Open Office.
