Adventures in Computational Chemistry

So, working with Material Studio is awesome. You get to handle bigger, complicated and even unimaginable system. But I am facing problems in very minute functioning. I recently faced two problems, but managed to resolve on my own. Somehow, tutorials doesn't help in resolving them and you end up doing some exercise on your own to get the solution. Among these, the problem of bringing two molecular structures in one window and then adjusting one molecule by moving it around, while other structure remains untouched, as it is. Actually, this should not be a problem to do. There is a simple way of doing this. Select the molecule to be moved and then there is a symbol (button) to select, which allows you to selectively move that molecule only. This is the same way it can be done in Material studio too.  But among all the dozens of symbols, the new person handling MS, kind of gets lost. So, what he does is check the tutorials, for any help. But the tutorials don't talk about suc...

I am making a note of this option here, so that next time ( which is like 5-6th time), when I want to have margin ruler in my word file, I will know where to look for it.  When ever you have to work on a new computer and on opening word file, if the margins of the page are not set properly, you end looking at the top of the page searching for margin ruler to quickly adjust the page. At times, the new computers settings may not have these rulers visible on the page. This ruler is very important, like if want to change the margin or arrange the spacings of bullets, the margin ruler is the easiest option to use. So, next time, if the margin ruler is missing, follow these instructions. All you have to do is click on view option. Here, you will find a section of Show. In this section, there is an option of Ruler which you have to select. Once selected, the margin ruler will appear on the word page you are working. Its simple act to perform, but difficult to remember. ...
