Create a topic by pasting text or image

Copy or cut the text or image from within MindManager or from the another application (usually, select it and press CTRL+C to copy or CTRL+X to cut).
In MindManager, click where you want to add the new topic:

To create a main topic select the central topic
To create a subtopic select a topic.
To create a floating topic click on an empty space. ( In Map View only.)

Do one of the following:

On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste.

The text formatting is retained when you use the Paste command. If you prefer to use your map's default formatting, clear the option to use formatting from the original.

Press CTRL+V
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the Paste arrow, or right-click the topic, and then click Paste.
Click the format you want to use. (The formats available will depend on what you have cut or copied.)

Paste Inside appends the text or image to the existing topic.

Paste Unformatted Text pastes text without formatting - the default formatting is used.

Paste Formatted Text (RTF) retains the text formatting.

Paste Bitmap creates a new topic with an image.

Paste Hyperlink pastes the text as a hyperlink on the selected topic. The text should be a valid URL, e-mail address, or document link.

Paste Notes pastes the text as a note, retaining the formatting of the original.

Paste as Callout creates a callout on the selected topic.

Paste as Next topic creates a new sibling topic below the selected topic.

If the pasted text contains paragraph breaks, a separate topic will be created from each paragraph.

The text formatting is retained when you use the Paste command, unless you use Paste Special, to paste Unformatted text. The pasted topic will then use the default topic formatting.

To automatically use MindManager's default formatting for all text pasted from other applications, clear the option to use formatting from the original.

You can move or copy an entire topic - subtopic tree from one map to another.

To create a callout, right-click a topic, then click Paste as callout.

You can paste text inside an existing topic (see Edit topic text), or to a topic Note.
