1. To use the template, perform these steps on the slide that follows:
Edit as necessary.
Group the portion needed.
Copy the group.
Paste into the manuscript document.
If the object is scaled smaller by the Word document margins, adjust the object size to be 100% of original. (It will then exceed the margins slightly, but that’s ok.)
If the previous procedure gives unexpected results, substitute the following paste operation:
Paste special as “PDF” or “enhanced metafile” to an unoccupied area of this PowerPoint document.
Select the just-pasted object.
Copy-and-paste (or cut-and-paste) into the manuscript document.
Check that the embedded object is 100% of the original size.
This is 8 pt font, the recommended main label size for text in figures and schemes and also similar in size to the figure captions and the text in the tables.
Here is 10 point text, consistent in size to text in the main body of the manuscript. For best results, keep text size between 6 and 9 pt in figures and schemes.
Excel images can be directly pasted from Excel and have Excel controls preserved. Images can be directly pasted from ChemDraw and usually (but not always) have editing at the structure level preserved. ChemDraw figures are usually scaled to 70% of the size originating in ChemDraw, and can be scaled to 70% in PowerPoint for a fairly accurate preview of publication. When embedding into the manuscript document from this file (see to the right for instructions), do not include the brown guidance portions currently existing in this file.
