NovaMind are pleased to introduce a new export to Microsoft Word DOCX format. The video below gives you the details.

This is a very full featured and powerful export feature of NovaMind. Of course you’ve always been able to select the Mind Map title and copy and paste the text into Word, but you didn’t get it the Word outline format and you didn’t get all the images or hyperlinks.

With the new export feature, all that has changed.

When you export a Mind Map to Word, the Mind Map title becomes the title of the document, and each branch is mapped to a Word heading according to its level. This allows you to generate tables of contents and work in outline mode if you want to.

All of the text is added to the document using the Word default fonts unless you have explicitly set a font or color in NovaMind. If you have only set the style of some of the text, the rest of the text will take the Word default formatting for the attributes of the text you haven’t changed, and for the rest of the text. This means that the Word templates and styles are easily applied and update the text in the same way as if you had made those changes in the text within Word.

The text comes across using the standard Word formatting except where we explicitly set it to something else.

And if we apply a specific style to the document in Word, then it applies that style to the text of the document.

You can also work with the NovaMind themes without affecting this - only the text styles that you have changed to be something different than the theme settings will have those specific settings applied in the Word document. This allows you to use the full power of the Word themes for your Word document.

Also, the hyperlinks on your NovaMind document are translated into the MS Word equivalent - either hyperlinks or bookmarks and links if the link is to another branch.

The images are exported, including any reflections you have put on the images. This also includes attached graphics and adornments.

Also the branch notes are exported, including any embedded graphics.

All of these features are designed to give you the absolute best experience when you export your NovaMind document to MS Word.
