Use the Map Styles Organizer

You must have the View - Developer Ribbon Tab option enabled to use this feature.

Map Style files (*.mmas files) contain Map Styles that you can re-use by applying them to other maps. This makes it easy to standardize the formatting of maps for your project, department, or company. MindManager comes with a good variety of styles. In addition, you can create a new Map Style by saving the automatic style settings from the current map to a file. You can modify an existing Map Style directly.

You can use the Template Organizer's Map Style tab to manage your Map Styles.
