Why you need this page
On a Mac, sometimes round trip editing with ChemDraw to and from MS Office applications work great. As they started to again after many years of failure with MS Office 2016 v15.x. However starting at least with MS Office 2016 v16.14, it we discovered it started to fail with just PowerPoint. It still worked fine with MS Word. Such changes might occur in the future at any time so we here document a work-around we hope will still work in the future.
A solution
Current status:
- As of Fall 2017, could not reproduce prior problems "round-trip" editing ChemDraw figures embedded within Office 2016 documents.
- Have slowly had faculty upgrade from Office 2011 to Office 2016. As of 2/7/18, no known problems.
