If, while working on your document in Word, you realize that you have forgotten some key ideas that you would like to include, just make the changes, and import your Word document back into OpenMind. Your Mind Map will be updated.

  • Attach resources to branches (ideas) such as Flash files, pictures, text, sounds and videos. These files are included when you export to PowerPoint, HTML and Mediator and are displayed on their respective pages.
  • Create hyperlinks, buttons, branch connections and other interactivity that is also included when exporting.
