NovaMind 5 for Mac / Presenter - Estimated Arrival... and other questions
« on: April 28, 2012, 12:35:50 am »
I really really want to buy this software - but I can't fork out $80 if it doesn't have the ability to gracefully integrate with Power Point. I don't want to spend $250 for MindJet - but that may be what's necessary. Can the devs offer an idea of when this will be ready?
From skimming around here - I see that the Windows version has this capability - and I came across another thread that said the purchased license is valid for either OS version. What I'm wondering is - can I install VMWare Fusion - run Win 7 and the Windows version solely to integrate with PP. What I'd have to do - as a work around - would be Create MM in Mac version - save - open in Win virtual machine - export file to .ppt - (not quite sure of that process yet) - then head back to OS X to test - since I only have Office 2011 for Mac - I don't have a Windows version nor do I care to buy one.
Yes - I can export to a picture file - but that's not sufficient. I want to walk people through the logic/thought process - which means I want to animate the revealing of additional topics, subtopics, etc.
Also - Does - Novamind support text boxes - or other arrows external to core MM that can be used to show commonality or additional relationships?
