The Microsoft Office integration features are provided by add-ins that are installed when you install MindManager.
The Microsoft Office add-ins add entries in:
The File tab Export menu
The File tab Save & Send, Change File Type, Other Formats - Save as type: list.
The MindManager Ribbon - Insert tab, Microsoft Office group.
Topic shortcut (right-click) menu - Send to ... command.
If you do not see the command you want to use, the add-in may be disabled, and you must enable it in MindManager.
Click the File tab, click Options , and then click Add-ins.
Verify that the add-ins you want to use are checked.
If you do not see the add-in you want to use listed, it may not have been installed properly: Perform a repair of MindManager as detailed in our online support pages. This will attempt to re-install and re-register the add-ins in the Office programs. It is very important that all Office programs are closed at the time of installation or repairing.
In addition to having the Add-in installed, you must also have the supporting program installed on your system.
The Microsoft Office add-ins add "Export to Mindjet MindManager" buttons to the interfaces of the Office applications. Depending on which version of the applications you are using, you'll see these buttons either on the main toolbar, or on the Ribbon's Add-ins tab. If these commands are missing from the Office application you want to use, the add-in may be disabled, and you must enable it in the Office application.
