Import from Word

MindManager can import a Word document and transform the text into a map. An essential part of this process is the proper structuring of the Word document.

The document is processed according to the styles it contains. MindManager uses the Heading styles to determine the map topic hierarchy: text in Heading 1 style becomes Main topics, Heading 2 and greater are subtopics. Text in the Normal style (or any other style that is not a Heading style) is included as text notes for the topic directly preceding it.

Import an entire Word document

  1. Click the MindManager Button , click  Import, then click Import Microsoft Word Document.

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

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

You'll see a status message appear as the file is processed, then the new map will appear in MindManager's Map View window.
