Updates to Reaxys on 13th November

* Structure editors: Accelrys Draw (Symyx Draw 4.0) is now supported. Implementation of the default structure editor, Marvin Sketch, has been improved, resulting in better performance

* Find Similar Reactions: placed below the RX.ID, the link opens a dialog containing a table with the product structures as row headers and the cells contain hitset sizes for the different class codes which work as links.

* Synthesis planner updates: now able to re-size the planner according to preference through the Resize button. Synthesis planner tab captions are now editable using the Rename button.

* Hazmat Navigator - a source of chemical safety data - is now linked to Reaxys. Hazmat is a valuable source of chemical safety information

* Generate Structure from Name has been updated - if an entered name cannot be resolved into one structure, all the alternatives are presented in a dialog box and the user can select the appropriate one.
