I have played a little with the interoperability of the SD products with the Office products, particularly looking at the issue of editing structures. On one of my machines I have copies of Office 2004, 11.5.6 (henceforth termed Office 11) and Office 2008, 12.2.3 (Office 12). I have not spent much time with Pages or Keynote. On all of these I use ChemDraw and MS Office products. I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.2) on all three machines.
#CHEMDRAW PROGRAM FOR MAC PRO#
I have a 2.4 GHz Core Duo iMac as my home desktop, a new Macbook Pro laptop, and an older iMac on my desk at work (college professor). With that as background, I am going to describe some testing I have done this morning. But I also think that Cambridge could be more transparent about the issues they are facing as new releases are put forward.
We are all also aware of the Microsoft attitude toward the Apple platform. I don’t know if that is what happened in Cambridge’s case on the Snow Leopard release. Some of these changes have dramatically affected the developers’ software at the last minute. What I hear is that Apple is notorious for making changes between the final final-candidate release and the official release of a new OS or OS update. I have also talked with developers of other software, specifically about their experience providing products on the Mac platform. It will be a long post and at the outset I tell you that I have been a beta tester for Cambridge ChemDraw products for a number of years. In particular, I would like to outline where I think we are on this issue. I have seen lots of comments about this on these forums, but I would like to take a different approach.
I am starting a new thread in order to elicit comments about the Mac version of ChemDraw.
