When you would like to edit a Marvin OLE object in an MS Office document, MarvinSketch can be opened in a couple of ways depending on the configuration of the OLE server.
By default, when the OLE object is edited the editor opens embedded into the MS Office application. If you would like to see MarvinSketch in a standalone window during editing the OLE object, you have to modify the OLE server settings in the registry.
In the C:\Program Files\Chemaxon\Shared\MarvinOLE folder, you will find different registry entries that can help you to modify the registry:
Just install the desired .reg file to modify the edit settings of the OLE server as described below.
.reg file is located and right-click the file.regedit.exe to select it. By default, it is located in the C:\Windows folder.regedit.exe, submit the Open With dialog to run the desired .reg file with regedit.exe.Marvin OLE represents a multi-document interface, which means that the users can edit more than one single document at a time. When using standalone mode all opened documents can be seen in child windows hosted in the main window frame.
From version 5.12 a new setting is available for both administrators and users: for setting that these OLE documents should be opened in maximized window state. (Maximized window state is when the active document window overlaps, covers all other document windows.)
Alt+Tab helps to switch among all opened documents as normally, but the active document child gets into focus with full size in the host.
Registry key for this feature is as follows:
[Maximized = DWORD value]
The 0x1 value means True (display in a maximized way) and 0x0 value is the default False (display in a normal way)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Chemaxon\MarvinOLE\SettingsHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Chemaxon\MarvinOLE\Settings
which overrides the administrator value.
