ChemDraw: When I paste structures into Microsoft Word or other applications, the result is a poor looking low resolution image.

When I paste structures into Microsoft Word or other applications, the result is a poor looking low resolution image.

Go into the File menu and choose Preferences. On the ‘General’ tab, check ‘Use Antialiasing When Generating Windows Metafiles’. Click OK, now try copying and pasting into the other application.  In old versions of the software this preference is off by default because it can cause printing problems if the most up to date printer driver is not installed.

This issue does not occur in newer versions.
