If you are a student or a person working in the field of chemistry, then symbols and formulas are of important when creating documents. Chem4Word is a free Microsoft Word add-in which makes it easier for students, chemists and researchers to insert and modify chemical information, such as labels, formulas and 2-D depictions, from within Microsoft Office Word. This add-in works well with Word 2007 as well as Word 2010. This add-in is developed by Microsoft research team.
The add-in harnesses the power of Chemical Markup Language (XML for chemistry), making it possible not only to author chemical content in Word, but also to include the data behind those structures. Chem4Word and Chemical Markup Language make chemistry documents open, readable and easily accessible, not just to other humans, but also to other technologies.
This add-in adds a new tab to Word documents and you can use the power of Chemical Markup Language easily in word documents.
The add-in is currently in beta phase and available for download.
Every organic chemist should instal this one. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
