Microsoft office 2011 for Mac OS X 10.8.2
MarvinSketch 5.11.4
Hello!
I would like to copy chemical structures from MarvinSketch to Word and the only thing I got is a PDF drawing, and with that it is impossible to modify the structure directly through Word (I mean by a double click linking the *.doc* document to MarvinSketch.
The OLE clipboard is not available in MarvinStetck when I tried to copy structures.
I have downloaded JChem.NET documentations (and the programme JChem for Java users) but I still cannot see the Marvin OLE option when I try to copy the molecule from *.mrv* files.
Could you help me to fix that please? thank you in advance.
MR, a new mac user that starting to be desapointed.

Dear Marysa,
unfortunately, OLE copy is not supported in Mac OS X. Chemical structures embedded into MS-Office documents can be edited only under Windows. In Mac, the structure will be embedded in pdf format.
Best regards,
Dora

Ok, thank you Dora. But do you know if it is planned to have this tool (OLE copy) one day on Mac OS X?
(sorry for the triple post ;)

You can embed the structure information in the meta data of the image and then read it when the image is pasted back into Marvin. I think this is how other chemical drawing applications work.

As far as I know, they don't plan to ever implement OLE in Mac OS X. Sorry. :(

Yes. Marvin does the same: Native PDF format as the default image pasteboard format is used on MAC
systems. It allows the user to copy a structure (which was originally
created by either Marvin or ChemDraw) from a Microsoft Office 2011
document and to paste it to Marvin.

Marysa: You may have missed the point later in the thread, but to edit the Marvin picture, all you have to do is copy it in Word and paste it back into Marvin. Admittedly, it's less convenient than just double-clicking on the picture, but Mac users haven't had that ability since Word 5 and ChemDraw 3, many, many years ago.
