CIF Data Importer

Overview of CIF Data Importer

The CIF data importer is a tool available in the RSC Word templates for authors to import crystallographic structure data from a CIF file as a formatted table or footnote.

Automating this task will save authors time and effort, and also reduce the opportunity for copying errors to be introduced.

It is currently only available for Word 2003/2004 operated on a PC. Problems may occur when running the tool on a Macintosh computer.

Please note that the CIF Data Importer is currently a Beta version for testing, and the RSC would welcome feedback by users that might improve it.
