ChemSketch Takes Control of ChemDraw OLE Objects

Keywords: Microsoft, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, edit, ChemSketch, ChemDraw, OLE

Details:
If you have both programs on the same computer, by default ChemSketch takes over ChemDraw objects. ChemDraw structures pasted in MS Office documents will open in ChemSketch when you double-click on them.

To solve this:

Turn off this setting in ChemSketch.  As a result, items created in ChemSketch will open in ChemSketch and items created in ChemDraw open in ChemDraw.

In File | File Associations deselect "CS ChemDraw OLE Object"
