Syntax highlighting code in a word processor

How can I get syntax highlighted code in a word processor?

This is for a guide that will have code examples that should be able to go from page to page, so posting images is not an option.

I would prefer to do this with OpenOffice, but I could also use iWorks or Office. The code is Ruby, Java, Python, and possibly others. I could use TextMate to export if necessary.

Xcode is already doing this, I think. If you copy it from a window and paste it into another application that accepts text with extended text, it will be formatted with it. I just took a screenshot:
