Summary:

When graphics from ChemDraw version 2.1.3 are pasted into Microsoft PowerPoint and then printed, label text placed on the graphic using ChemDraw’s Atom Label tool may print disproportionately large.

To correct this problem, do the following:

1. In ChemDraw, choose Preferences from the File menu.
2. Deselect the option, “Include PostScript Commands In Clipboard.”

Graphics from ChemDraw can then be pasted into PowerPoint and printed properly.

More Information:

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
