Except for the foreground and background color, the colors present in the selection to be pasted are added to the des-
tination document’s Color palette if they are not already (up to 20 total colors). The background color in the destination
document remains, and all objects colored using the foreground color are changed to match the foreground color in the

ferent settings, the Change Settings dialog box appears.

tings.
All of the settings in the destination document are changed to match those of the source document. All of the colors in
the Color palette of the destination document are changed to those specified in the source document.
To scale the objects from the source document to the settings in the destination document, click Don’t Change Set-
tings.
The settings from the source document are scaled to those in the destination document using the ratios given above.
Note: If the source document was created in a ChemDraw version earlier than 3.0, the name of the document
appears as “Unknown” in the dialog box.
Embedding objects
ChemBioDraw 13.0 supports the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) protocol on Windows. This lets you edit struc-
tures that are pasted in other types of documents. ChemBioDraw 13.0 is an OLE server, which means it can create
OLE objects that you can copy and paste into other OLE client applications.
When you transfer drawing from ChemBioDraw 13.0 to another document type that supports OLE, you can open and
edit the drawing within the new application.
For example, to edit a drawing inserted into Microsoft Word 2003 or later, do one of the following:
In Word, select the drawing and go to Edit>CSChemDraw Drawing Object.
Double-click the drawing.
The ChemBioDraw 13.0 tools and menus replace those of Word. Use the tools to edit the drawing.
When you finish making changes, click in another area of the Word document. The Word tools and menus are
restored.
