Export a map to Word

The Word Export feature exports your map in outline form to Word. You can export the entire map, or just selected topics.

If you want to include a graphical image of your map in a Word document, you can achieve this by creating an image file from your map and then inserting this into Word.

By default, bitmaps are converted to metafiles on export for better compatibility with some RTF readers. Disable the MindManager Notes option setting Convert bitmaps to metafiles to disable this behavior.

Export an entire map to a Word document

  1. Open the map.

Only visible topics are exported. This means you can apply a filter to hide a set of topics you don't want to include in the document.

Take a look at the map in Outline View first for a general idea of what the exported Word file will look like.

  1. Do one of the following:

Mindjet Catalyst - You can save the Word document to a workspace by choosing Workspaces as the Save in location, then selecting a workspace.

  1. The default name for the document will be the map name, but you can change this and the location where it is saved. Click Save.

  2. The Microsoft Word Export Settings dialog appears, so you can tailor the export to your liking.

  1. Click Export when you have set the options to your liking.

  2. A message appears when the export is done. You can Open the document to check it, Open Folder where it was saved or Close to return to MindManager.

Export selected topics to a Word document

  1. To append the exported content to the end of a Word document open it .

  2. In MindManager, open the map and select the topics you want to export.

  3. Right-click on one of the topics, click Send to, and then click Microsoft Word.
    (Only the selected topics are exported. If a document is already open, the topics are added at the end of the document.)

  4. Select the export options in the Word Export Settings dialog (described above).

  5. Switch to Word to see your exported content. Remember to save the document before exiting Word.

  2. Press CTRL+C to copy
  3. Switch to Word, then press CTRL+V to paste.
