General / advice needed

« on: March 15, 2012, 12:47:41 am »

I perform project management work and so host many many meetings. Currently I have a document with many tabs, one tab per meeting. NM does a great job of planning and running meetings etc.

But I am finding that having multi tabs cumbersome to scroll back and forth, especially when I have to reference a previous meeting etc, and the document is growing and growing. 
I have tried separating into multi docs, but find that cumbersome and not what I need.

My question, how do you handle situations where you will have many tabs in one document?

Any advice would be great.

thanks

Nigel.

NovaMind 5 for Windows / SEARCH suggestions

« on: March 15, 2012, 12:14:22 am »

hi, one suggestion I have for NM Windows is a search feature.

For example, if you have a document that has multiple mind maps, it would be great to be able to search a keyword. Even this could be expanded to search the current mind map, or search the document...kinda like excel can search current worksheet or workbook.

Thanks

Nigel.

NovaMind 5 for Windows / rows of tabs (updated)

« on: March 05, 2012, 03:47:41 am »

Hi, using NM5 for windows.

I have a document that has a lot of tabs...is there a way to have rows of tabs, so I can see all the tabs on one screen, rather than scroll left/right to go through the tabs?

thanks

Nigel.

Along with the original question: Does anyone have any advice on how to handle a document that has MANY tabs...ie, keep them all in one document and scroll left/right, separate out into several docs...keeping in mind easy access to each tab and PERFORMANCE, which I find, the more I use NM5 the worse the performance, to the point I can not leave it open and use all day.

tks

NovaMind 5 for Windows / export to Powerpoint

« on: January 20, 2012, 05:18:24 am »

NM5 for windows.

how do I export to Powerpoint to achieve the following:

1) if I have several tabs in a single NM5 doc, ie several maps, how do I export just one (it only selects the first tab).

2) How do I export so each subtopic gets exported to a separate Powerpoint slide. (it just dumps all the topics without regard)

thanks

General / NM 5 suggestion

« on: January 20, 2012, 03:28:26 am »

hi, I am not sure where to post this, but I have a suggestion for a future enhancement.

We currently have the "children inherit shape settings from parent", which is great, but it would be even better if we could specify all children have a different shape from the parernt.

ie, subtopic could be OVAL shape and all children could be SQUARE.

Unless I am missing something, right now, each child has to be clicked on and changed.

Hope this makes sense.

NovaMind 5 for Windows / exporting multiple maps in NM5

« on: January 18, 2012, 01:33:45 am »

hi,

if I have 4 maps in a single .NM5 file and I only want to EXPORT 1 of those maps to PDF, how do I do that?

NM5 only exports for the first map, ie the first tab and ignores the other 3, even if I have the 3rd map highlighted, export still only sees the 1st map, tab.

thanks

General / Forum ??

« on: November 27, 2011, 12:16:19 am »

hi all, I am currently evaluating NM5 as well as many other mind mapping SW( both free and paid). I really like NM5 the best so far.

My only 2 concerns are:

1) lack of forum posts, replies etc - does NovaMind not have a lot of users, is it lacking in support?

2) the amount of memory NM5 uses on both my XP and Win 7 machines (this is not specific to NM5, Imindmap, Mindmanager etc all use about the same).

I am hoping NM is popular and well backed and supported as I am very much leaning towards this product.

thanks,

Nigel.

NovaMind 5 for Windows / Topic numbering?

« on: November 14, 2011, 12:09:30 pm »

hi, new here...I have searched but can't seem to find how to number topics as follows:

1. subtopic 2. subtopic 3. subtopic

all I seem to be able to do is:
1. subtopic 1.1 subtopic 1.1.1 subtopic

Does anyone know how to arrange the numbering so each subtopic is a whole number?

thanks!
