Ok, I searched the forums for the answer to this and came up empty, but how do I cut and paste my source code (to preserve highlights and line numbers) from the editor to another file?

If you have the source-exporter plugin installed (part of the contrib-plugins), you can use "File -> Export" and export the active file as HTML-, RTF-, ODT- or PDF-file.
Try it and you can see the possible options.

Thanks jens,
I don't see any info from Wiki for the source exporter plugin.  Am I supposed to copy the (source exporter) source to my current project and compile it?  Or is this an installed program?  Sorry but I know nothing about plugins.  I currently am using codeblocks 8.2 with the gcc complier and debugger which has the core plugins + 3 wxSmith plugins installed. 
Thanks

I don't see it in the plugin directory?  Maybe I have to download it somewhere?

No one can help you; without knowing the operating system. And if you built or installed Code::Blocks.

Assuming the plugin is installed but disabled; check this
"Plugins" -> "Manage Plugins"
look for "Source Exporter" and enable it if disabled.

That was the first place I looked.  It's not there.

You still do not tell us which OS you use, but I guess it's windows.

And if I'm right and you use the 8.02-release, just re-run the installer and this time make sure you marked the source-exporter plugin for install.
By the way: I recommend to install all contrib-plugins.

Thanks jens,  stupid me, I didn't realize I missed this option when installing.
Thanks again..
