Editor selection in JChem for Office Lite

Changing the structure editor in JChem for Office Lite works the same way as in JChem for Office. Go to JChem ribbon > Options > Structure Editor, then select your preferred editor from the dropdown list.

Supported Editors:

  • Marvin
  • MarvinSketch

Rendering structures:

By default, pasted structures are rendered according to their file format or the selected chemical editor.

Typical cases include:

  • CXON - Marvin
  • MRV - MarvinSketch
  • CDX/CDXML - ChemDraw

If user.config files from a previous installation are detected, the stored renderer and editor settings will be applied automatically in Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
