2. Install this v2 module:

   • Copy or merge the contents of this repo into the same directory as the base .dotm files
   • Ensure any macro references or modules are updated using the Word Developer tab > Macros > Organizer

3. Open the StartUp Template:

   • Open Chemistry Building Blocks_StartUp_v5.dotm
   • Enable macros when prompted
   • Use new features and extensions provided in v2

🚀 Features in v2
