ChemWindows
The RSC is able to accept files saved in ChemWindows format.
1 - General guidelines
When creating your original image, following these guidelines will make it easier to produce useable ChemWindows files:
- Illustrations should conform to the RSC's 'Guidelines for Illustrations'.
- When adding symbols to your image, avoid using unusual fonts - try where possible to use only Arial, Helvetica and Symbol.
- Save each scheme, figure, chart or uncaptioned diagram as a separate file.
- Tables should not be created using ChemWindows, as this makes it impossible to use them when making up the journal pages. Tables should be produced using a word processor. If structures are required in a table they should be created individually and saved in ChemWindows format, then pasted into the word processor file.
