iMindMap Professional FAQs

Here are answers to some key questions you may have as you consider iMindMap Professional to improve your creative, organisation and planning effectiveness.

Why should I buy iMindMap Professional over iMindMap Elements?

iMindMap Professional is perfect if you want to use iMindMap to help you in business, teaching or learning. Partial integration with Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org allows you to export your Mind Maps to a range of different formats including Word® and PowerPoint®.

Additionally, expand or collapse branches whilst you are working to show small parts of your Mind Map at any one time, ideal for presentations and keeping your audience focused.

Another useful tool you get within iMindMap Professional is the ability to take a snapshot of sections of your map with the screen capture tool. It's a great feature for sharing parts of your map with colleagues or for adding impact to reports.

I'm a student at university and wanted to know how iMindMap Professional can help me during my studies?

MindMap Professional can help you organise lecture notes, collaborate with fellow students and give impact to your course work.

It is quick and easy to use, so you will save time capturing all the key information from lectures in an iMindMap, instead of making reams of notes. This is bolstered by the Branch Sorter tool which gives you the option to automatically sort branches in alphanumeric order.

Enhanced Mind Mapping control lets you share your map with others as images, PDFs and even web pages, allowing you to generate more ideas and possibilities, maximising your creativity.

iMindMap Professional is also a great tool for scheduling, allowing you to balance your work and leisure time at university.

Will the added functionality of iMindMap Professional save me time, or will I just get confused by all the features?

iMindMap Professional's organic structure enables you to think freely, with the added benefit of easy to use tools that will save you time and effort. Enhanced Word Import automatically converts your Word documents into fully structured brain-friendly Mind Maps, as recommended by expert Tony Buzan. This is great for summarising long reports and documents.

Conversely, export your Mind Maps as a text document to use in packages such as Microsoft Word®, PowerPoint®, OpenOffice Impress® or Mac Keynote®. Great for reports and essay writing.

Is iMindMap Professional available in languages other than English?

Each edition of iMindMap is available in English, Welsh, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Traditional Chinese, Chinese Simplified, Thai, Swedish, Danish and Portuguese (Brazilian).
