You can import content by pasting text from many applications to create topics on your current map. You can also import another map as a branch within the current map.
In addition, you can import content from Word, Project, and MPX files.
What do you want to do?
You can cut or copy text or an image, then paste it into your map in Map View to create a new topic. The text or image can come from MindManager or from another application. in Outline View you can create a new topic by pasting text.
If the pasted text contains paragraph breaks, a separate topic will be created from each paragraph.
Copy or cut the text or image from within MindManager or from the another application (usually, select it and press CTRL+C to copy or CTRL+X to cut).
In Map View or Outline View, click where you want to add the new topic:
To create a main topic select the central topic
To create a subtopic select a topic.
To create a floating topic click on an empty space. ( In Map View only.)
To paste using the default formatting:
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste.
Press CTRL+V
To paste in a different format:
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the Paste arrow, or right-click the topic, and point to Paste in the shortcut menu.
Click the format you want to use:
Paste Inside appends the text or image to the existing topic.
Paste Unformatted Text pastes text without formatting - the default formatting is used.
Paste Formatted Text (RTF) retains the text formatting.
Paste Bitmap creates a new topic with an image.
Paste Hyperlink pastes the text as a hyperlink on the selected topic. The text should be a valid URL, email address, or document link.
Paste Notes pastes the text as a note on the current topic, retaining the formatting of the original.
Paste as Callout creates a callout on the selected topic.
Paste as Next topic creates a new sibling topic below the selected topic.
To see more formats, click Paste Special. The formats available will depend on what you have cut or copied.
The text formatting is retained when you use the Paste command, unless you paste Unformatted text. The pasted topic will then use the default topic formatting. To automatically use MindManager's default formatting for all text pasted from other applications, clear the option to use formatting from the original.
You can import an existing map as a set of topics for the current map. The imported map's central topic will become a subtopic of the currently selected topic.
Do one of the following:
Select a topic, then on the Insert tab, in the Branch group, click Insert Map.
Right-click a topic on the current map, click Insert, and then click Map.
Choose the map you want to import.
