    Changing the structure renderer in JChem for Office Lite can be done through the context menu.

    Right-click on a structure and navigate to JChem for Office > Structure Renderer.

    {info} When installing JChem for Office Lite on a new environment and no user.config files can be found, then the render is automatically set to Autodetect when these files are created.

    If user.config files from a previous installation are found, the renderer and editor options stored in the files will be used.

    The user.config files can be found in the following locations:

    • `C:\Users\<Current User>\AppData\Roaming\Chemaxon\JChem for Outlook`
    • `C:\Users\<Current User>\AppData\Roaming\Chemaxon\JChem for PowerPoint`
    • `C:\Users\<Current User>\AppData\Roaming\Chemaxon\JChem for Word`
    • `C:\Users\<Current User>\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation\JChemForOutlook.vsto_vsto_Path_otgxb0fych3j2qkqv0eztcinbbbotaf1\<Build Version>`
