Add-ins and transformations

Add-ins

MindManager comes with a set of pre-installed add-ins that extend its functionality. These software modules add commands to the MindManager ribbon, and to the Microsoft Office applications ribbons (or menus). Additional add-ins may be provided by Mindjet or third-party vendors.

MindManager commands that come from add-ins include:

These features are automatically enabled when you install MindManager. You can see the list of installed add-ins, and disable or enable them in the MindManager Add-Ins options dialog.

Buttons added to Microsoft applications by the add-ins

In the Microsoft Office applications, the Send to MindManager Map commands come from add-ins and are automatically enabled when you install MindManager.

If you are experiencing difficulties using the Microsoft Office add-ins see Troubleshooting Office add-ins.

Transformations

Transformations enable the conversion of a map to a text-based format and vice-versa. Like Add-ins, transformations add commands to the MindManager interface and appear as an integrated part of the application.

MindManager provides two transformations (accessible from the Files of type: list in the Save dialog) that convert a MindManager document into a text-based outline . You can choose Outlines - Plain Text to create a text outline of your map, or Outlines - Web Page to create an HTML outline. Additional transformations may also be provided by Mindjet and by third-party vendors.

You can enable or disable transformations in the MindManager Transformations options dialog.
