If you’re trying to present to a large group or via a web conference (the situation I found myself in several months ago), you’ll discover that this is a major disadvantage: The mini-grouping of topics is so small compared to the screen real estate that it may be almost unreadable. When you convert it to a slide, it becomes a small image floating in a lot of white space (see the screen shot at right for an actual example of this). Where this becomes a shortcoming is if you want to export a simple branch with only two sub-topics, for example. Why? Because you can’t adjust the size of the topics and subtopics in your slides.
I’ve used MindManager to make a presentation, and I found it to be fairly challenging. MindManager then adds that topic and any sub-topics to a slide sorter to the left of the work space – which looks and functions very much like the one contained in PowerPoint. You do so by right-clicking on the topic that you want to convert into a slide, and selecting the “make a slide” command (see the screen shot on the previous page). Starting with version 9, Mindjet moved to a new presentation model, which now enables users to designate which branches and sub-branches should be included in your presentation. It basically walked you around each branch and sub-īranch of your map, displaying each one in clockwise order. In past versions of MindManager, you could make presentations directly from the program, but the program decided what to display. I’ll also compare the pros and cons of each developer’s approach to exporting, and what this implies in terms of how much reformatting you’ll need to do in PowerPoint. In this report, we’ll analyze each of the major mind mapping programs and outline the capabilities they offer.
With many mind mapping programs, it’s even possible to make presentations directly from it. It’s an ideal tool for gathering and organizing your thoughts, and then moving them over to Microsoft’s ubiquitous presentation program – either as visual objects or converted to text.
