Import tasks from Project

When MindManager imports a set of tasks from Project, it translates the task information from Project into the corresponding MindManager Task Info, and creates a new map with one topic for each task.

Import an entire Project file

1. Click the MindManager Button , click Import, and then click Import Microsoft Project File.

 If you do not see Microsoft Project in the Import menu, see Troubleshooting Office add-ins.

2. Select the file you want to import and click Open.

3. A dialog appears to let you customize the Import Settings. Once the settings have been adjusted to your liking, click Import.

You'll see a status message appear as the file is processed, then the new map will appear.

Import only selected Project tasks

1. To add the tasks to an existing map, open the map in MindManager and select a target topic if desired.

2. Select the tasks in Project.

3. Click the Send to Mindjet MindManager toolbar button or click File, click Send to, then click MindManager. MindManager will start and open a new map if its not already active.

If you do not see the Send to Mindjet MindManager button on the Project toolbar, see Troubleshooting Office add-ins.

4. A dialog appears to let you customize the Import Settings. Once the settings have been adjusted to your liking, click Import.

The Project import is a one-time operation, and no link is retained between the Project tasks and the MindManager topics. If you import tasks from Project and then make changes to the tasks in MindManager you cannot export the tasks back to Project to update them there. Instead, the old tasks will remain and the exported tasks will be added at the end of the project as new tasks.
