Exporting Presentation Slides (Platinum edition)

Sometimes you want to do more with your beautiful presentation slides and with the latest update it is easy to export your slides as high quality images.

The export allows you to specify the resolution in which you need your slides and with the superior visual quality of NovaMind your slides will look great.

With the new export option you can also very easily import your slides into PowerPoint. We have created a tutorial that explains how to do this.

Other important enhancements

• The full screen view is now available in the Express edition.
• New iMindMap 5 import.
• Support for importing and exporting attachments from and to MindManager files.
• We added keyboard shorcuts to quickly show the topic notes window (Ctrl+T) and to switch between editing the topic text (Ctrl+Shift+”) and the topic notes (Ctrl+”)
