NovaMind Mind Mapping Software for Windows gets PowerPoint export

NovaMind for Windows received a significant update today with the ability to export Mind Maps directly from NovaMind to PowerPoint.

This capability opens up new sharing opportunities where there is a need to brainstorm ideas using Mind Mapping techniques, and yet to share the information using more “traditional” presentation software.

The files produced are the new PPTX files used by PowerPoint 2007 for Windows and PowerPoint 2008 for Mac.

Here is a video of the export procedure and results:

Standard text styles are used wherever possible to make sure that when you apply a theme to your presentation in PowerPoint, the styles are applied consistently throughout the presentation.

Images on the branches are transferred to the presentation, and the branch notes become speaker notes.

This makes the transition from your NovaMind Mind Map to your PowerPoint presentation almost instantaneous.

Mindmapping on Vista - with the Ribbon GUI!

Published January 23rd, 2007 in .NET, Technology blog

I am a big fan of mindmapping and a regular user of Mind Manager X5 pro when I was running XP on my system. However, X5 Pro is not compatible with running on Vista. Looking at other mindmap programs revealed a couple of free ones however both required Java (Freemind & Compedium). I have never been very comfortable with Java.

Then I came across Novamind. Not one that I had ever looked at before. Net 2.0 based, lovely GUI and the Ribbon!

Downloading and istalling the 30 day trial was painless (except for the now familiar Vista UAC dialogues). A day after I had installed an update was released, the program notified me of this on launch and offered to download the update and install it. 2 clicks and it was updated to the new version. This was also pretty impressive.

The program has a mind map tutor with step by step tutorial building up to a complex mindmap with all the bells and whistles.

I am very impressed so far. Novamind lends itself to both quick and simple note-taking and brain storming mindmaps as well as complicated maps with graphical background, icons and attached documents/resources. I think I have found my replacement to Mind Manager.
