Maintain text formatting by copying/pasting from IDZ to external editor like WORD

We would like to retain the layout of the text of a COBOL program or a JCL when copying and pasting from COBOL editor IDZ to an external editor like WORD.

This manipulation is widely used among the users and it's more visually appealing and makes it easier to distinguish between the program text and the other paragraphs.
