  1. Open your .docx file in your Word application.
    ​
    ​

  2. Copy the molecular drawing(s) (and additional text if desired) in your .docx file.
    ​
    ​

  3. Place your cursor in the Rowan Patents application window where you wish to add the copied molecule(s).
    ​
    ​

  4. Paste the copied molecule data at your cursor location using Ctrl-V/Cmd-V or the Edit menu Paste option.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  5. The molecule(s) will be displayed in .png format, but remain editable.
    ​
    ​


    ​
    ​Note that you can also open your .docx file in Rowan Patents, or merge in Word content, to bring ChemDraw molecular drawings stored in Word into Rowan Patents.
    ​
    ​

  6. If your molecular drawing contains Markush group labels, Rowan Patents can identify these and help you define and track them.
