The Chemistry Add-in for Word makes it easier to insert and modify chemical information, such as labels, formulas, and 2-D depictions, within Microsoft Office Word. Additionally, it enables the creation of inline “chemical zones”, the rendering of print-ready visual depictions of chemical structures, and the ability to store and expose chemical information in a semantically rich manner.

The Chemistry Add-in for Word is free and can be downloaded from the Microsoft website at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/chem4word/

MDPI is pleased to announce that Energies (ISSN 1996-1073, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/) was accepted for coverage in the Science Citation Index Expanded, available as the Web of Science, and Current Contents/Engineering, Computing & Technology. Energies will be covered from Volume 1, Issue 1 (June 2008)
