Export the entire map to create a complete presentation
using the Save as... command or
the PowerPoint Export toolbar button 
.
Export topics to be added to the active presentation using the Send to... command.
When you begin the PowerPoint export, MindManager will prompt you for some Export Format Settings. You can choose to preview and format your slides first or perform the export immediately.
On export, MindManager communicates directly with PowerPoint instructing it to build a presentation. You can edit the resulting presentation in PowerPoint. But remember, those changes will not be reflected in the MindManager map, and if you re-export the map these changes will be lost.
You can create a PowerPoint presentation from a map in two ways:
Export the entire map to create a complete presentation
using the Save as... command or
the PowerPoint Export toolbar button .
Export topics to be added to the active presentation using the Send to... command.
MindManager's default slide layouts are optimized to eliminate duplicating topics on multiple slides. If you want to preview and fine-tune your presentation before export use the Format PowerPoint Slides task pane (click the Format Slides button in the PowerPoint Export Format Settings dialog on export, or click Format - Microsoft PowerPoint slides at any time)
To create a complete presentation from a map:
Open the map.
Hint: You can filter the map to exclude topics from the presentation.
Click the PowerPoint Export
toolbar button
or
Click File - Export
- Microsoft PowerPoint
or
Click File - Save
as...., under Files of type
select Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation.
The default name for the presentation will be the map name, but you can change this and the location where it is saved. Click Save.
A dialog appears with the global presentation settings. Check the options you want to use.
Recommended - click Format Slides to preview the slides and change their formatting in the Format PowerPoint Slides task pane.
Note: You should use this option if you have added new topics to your map since your last export to preview how they will be included in the presentation.
If you are certain of the slide layouts and don't want to preview the slides click Export.
A new PowerPoint presentation is created. You can Open the presentation to check it, Open Folder where it was saved or Close to return to MindManager.
Hint: Only visible topics are exported. This means you can apply a filter or subsequent filters to hide a set of topics you don't want to include in the presentation.
To add topics to an existing presentation:
In PowerPoint open the presentation that you want to add the slides to. Select the slide where you want the new slides inserted (they are inserted before this slide).
Switch back to MindManager. Optional - select the topics you want to export.
Right-click and select Send to - Microsoft PowerPoint.
A dialog appears with the PowerPoint Export settings. Check the options you want to use.
Recommended - click Format Slides to preview the slides and change their formatting in the Format PowerPoint Slides task pane.
Click Export.
The topics will be exported and added to the current PowerPoint presentation.
Note: If no presentation is open, a new presentation will be created.
