Work with Microsoft Word

What do you want to do?

The Word Export feature exports your map in outline form to Word. You don't need to have Microsoft Office installed on your system to export a map to DOCX, the native file format of Microsoft Word.

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.

MindManager can import a Word document and transform the text into a map. An essential part of this process is the proper structuring of the Word document.

The document is processed according to the styles it contains. MindManager uses the Heading styles to determine the map topic hierarchy: text in Heading 1 style becomes Main topics, Heading 2 and greater are subtopics. Text in the Normal style (or any other style that is not a Heading style) is included as text notes for the topic directly preceding it.
