The two organizations assigned the project to the Outercurve Foundation in February 2011. Peter Murray-Rust and Joe Townsend of the University of Cambridge’s Unilever Centre for Molecular Science Informatics initially developed the open source Chem4Word project. The Chemistry Add-In for Microsoft Word is a chemistry-aware add-in for Microsoft Word, which is sponsored and supported by the. Be it a simple molecule like water or little complex molecule like “Benzene” ring to a very complicated molecule like “sildenafil citrate”, drawing its chemical structure is very easy. This free plugin adds support for entering and editing chemistry symbols, diagrams, and formulas using intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Also, this software integrates seamlessly with Ms Word. But no one comes close to Chem4Word in ease of drawing and speed.
in the market that facilitates drawing chemical structure. There are tons of paid and free software like ChemSketch etc. Drawing complex chemical structure is not supported by Ms Word straight out of the box.
You know how difficult it is to draw them using Shapes available in Ms Word. Writing chemical reaction and associated symbols in word like various kinds of arrows in Word as easy (like in LaTeX) but what if you want to insert a chemistry formula or diagram of a molecule?. Microsoft Word is the best tool for writing and formatting text for your academics.
