Work with Microsoft PowerPoint

You can sketch out your basic ideas in MindManager, create slides to display the topics you choose, and then export your slides to PowerPoint to add high-impact graphics and animations. You can export all your slides or only select slides as a presentation or add slides to an existing presentation. Topics on your slides can be exported as bulleted text or as PowerPoint objects.

When you begin the PowerPoint export, MindManager will prompt you for some export Options, and then communicate directly with PowerPoint, instructing it to build the presentation. Then, you can edit the presentation in PowerPoint, if desired. .

• You must have Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 or later installed on your system to use these features.
