JChem for office on PowerPoint 2013 - can not convert smiles

Hi
I am trying to convert SMILES string and / or CAS to structure. It works in Excel. But it does works  in Excel 2013 but it does not work in PowerPoint 2013. Following is the error message.
Can you help resolve the issue?

 Exception: System.ArgumentException

Message: The specified value is out of range.

StackTrace:    at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.LineFormat.set_Visible(MsoTriState Visible)

   at JChemForPowerPoint.PowerPointRangeHandler.ResizeToDefault(IJChemForOfficeSettings settings)

   at JChemForPowerPoint.JChemPowerPointAddin.DoConversion(DataEmbedding dataEmbedding, IJChemMolecule molecule)

   at ChemAxon.JChemForOffice.JChemAddinBase.ConvertSmilesToStructure(DataEmbedding dataEmbedding)

Hi,

do any other structure insertion methods work for you in PowerPoint?

Can you add a structure with editor, or paste a structure?

 

For some strange reason PowerPoint API fails at the stage when JChem for Office tries to set a border around the inserted image.(LineFormat.set_Visible)

You can give a try to set the borders to false opening the Options dialog, and go to General - Image Formatting - Border. However it should work with any settings.

Best regards,

Tamas.

So structure insertion works if I do it on new slide anywhere on a blank (white) space. I wanted to insert a structure inside a table thT I have on my slide. So I had SMILES string and/or CAS in one of the rowXcolumn in the table and I was trying to convert it to structure, which did not work. 

Hi,

I see. I could reproduce the problem.

Unfortunately having structures in standard PowerPoint tables is not currently supported.

When we add table data we use a different way of creating tables.

I will notify our Product Owner, Akos about how to proceed with this issue.

Best regards,

Hi Mihir,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to insert any image into a PowerPoint table, so we cannot support this workflow.

Best regards,

Akos
