Overview of the macros

The main macro of this collection allows you to insert chemical equilibrium equations very comfortably into your texts. You don't have to worry about the formatting of subscripts and superscripts and how to get text above and beneath the reaction arrow.
All the important settings can be adjusted to your specific needs.

This macro takes the word left to the selection point and formats it as chemical formula. Since it can be called by Ctrl+F10, you can format your formula with just one additional keystroke. It can’t be done much faster.

Inserts oxidations numbers centered above element symbols.

The built-in subscripts and superscripts Word scale the characters to 66% of the point size and offset them by 20%. These user definable functions are much more flexible, because they can be customized using the Customize function you can call from the dialog box of Chemical Reaction.

You can enter overstriken indizes by hand (for instance nuclide information that needs to be right aligned and precedes the element symbol) by using this macro.

This is an easy and intuitive way to insert mathematical expressions using Word's field codes. You don't have to know specific codes; just choose from a dialog box. It can even be called recursively from inside itself. Thus you can enter more complex equation in one stroke.

Inserts numbered works cited at the bottom of the document and refers to them in the text. You can also cite one source more than once in the text.
