If you need a GIF image:

A) Download the freeware Chemsketch 5.0 and paste structures from ISIS/Draw
(select Edit | Paste | Special | Unpacked ISIS Sketch) and export to GIF
format . In case of complicated drawings you may have to fine tune them in
ChemSketch.

or

B) If you have momentarily no access to the internet, but have MS World
installed:

Open a new document in Word.

Open or draw your sketches in ISIS/Draw and move them one by one into Word
via the clipboard.

Save your document in HTML format. Word produces a HTML file with the
supplied name and a subfolder with the same name plus folder:
"docname_folder". In this folder you will find the sketches as image001.gif
etc. The images will have grey, but transparent background; its very easy to
change with any image editor, if necessary.
