You can use drag and drop to move and
copy topics between maps that you are viewing simultaneously.
Normally, when you move a main topic MindManager automatically determines the best new location for it. The result is that the topic may not be located just where you want it - especially on maps with only a few main topics.
To move a main topic to a specific position do one of the following:
Drag
the topic by its handle. 
Press ALT while you drag the topic to its new position.
Drag the topic using the right mouse button
If you don't see any topic handles use the Show / Hide command to display Main Topic Handles.
Once you drop the topic at its new position its handle becomes black to show that it has been freely positioned. The topic will maintain this approximate position as you add to or edit your map but may shift slightly to avoid overlapping with other topics.
For a single topic, right-click, and then click Reset Position.
For all topics, right-click the map background, and then click Reset All Topic Positions.
To distribute topics evenly on the map at any time, right-click on the map background, and then click Balance Map.
You can also move and copy topics using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands. You can use this method to copy topics to another map, or to paste a topic as a callout. In addition, there are keyboard shortcuts for moving topics.
There are several format settings to control the topic spacing and the layout of map topics.
Select the topic(s) and drag them to a new position in the outline. A visual cue appears showing where the topic(s) will be added.
Drag topics up and down to reorder them.
Point to the left half of the target topic to create a sibling (topic at the same level).
Point to the right half of the target topic to create a subtopic of the target.
To copy, press CTRL as you drag and drop.
