italics in text doesn't transfer in image

First, THANK YOU for finally making it possible on a Mac to copy a MarvinSketch picture that has been pasted into Microsoft Word back into MarvinSketch for editing.  

So I've been using this feature, and I noticed that when I italicized some text in a textbox in Marvin, that the italicization did not transfer into the picture that I pasted into Word.  See the screen shot.  I don't know whether the same problem occurs for other formatting such as superscripts and subscripts.

I also notice that when I set Marvin to monochrome display, the colors appear in the picture anyway when I paste it into Word.

I spoke too soon.  In the previous post, I was editing a .doc document (Word 97-2004 format) with MS Word 2011 for Mac.  The natural format for Word 2011 is .docx, so I saved the document in Word 2011 format.  When I did so, the contents of all my MarvinSketch pictures became invisible, although the pictures were still clearly there.  Furthermore, when I tried to paste new MarvinSketch pictures into the document, the pictures remained invisible.  See side-by-sde screen shots of the .doc and .docx documents.  ???

Dear Bob Grossman!

First of all: we are happy if you are happy :) 

As for the problems: the colors reappearing after copy and losing formatting options are indeed a bug, thanks for reporting them. We will pick this story up in our reporting system.

As for the missing images I would like to know how did you copy those ? Are you transferring images with ole or copy as image ?

Best regards,

I am using a Mac (OS 10.7.5), so there is no OLE.  I simply highlight the structure in MarvinSketch, press command-C, click in the appropriate place in the MS Word document, and press command-V.  It works fine when the Word document is in .doc format, but not when it is in .docx format.  

Aha!  I think it's a bug in Word.  When I switch from normal view of the document to page layout view, the picture appears, and when I switch back to normal view, it disappears again.  The space occupied by the picture is preserved, I just can't see the contents of the picture.  Even in normal view mode, I can see the contents of the picture if I choose various picture editing options such as background and contrast.  I doubt there's anything you can do to work around the problem, but maybe you can file a bug report with Microsoft.

Thank you! wWe will try to get the best reproduction workflow for the report. What Office version did you use?

Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, Version 14.1.0 (110310), Latest Installed Update: 14.1.0.  MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates installed.
