How This Book Is Organized

We used MindManager extensively as we wrote this book. We’ll use some examples of MindManager’s simple brilliance to explain how this book is organized. There are five parts to the book.

Part I

In the first part you learn about visual organization and the basics of MindManager. You set up the screen interface the way you want and get comfortable moving around in the program.

Part II

In the second part you explore how to add depth to your MindManager map. Icons, images, and borders are just a few of the additions. The foundation is now set.

Part III

Part III explores the depth of the MindManager program. The examples show you new possibilities. You are putting the building blocks of the program together and creating solutions.

Part IV

Part IV links MindManager to the outside world. The Microsoft suite of Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Project takes center stage. Web pages structured in powerful templates make a MindManager map quite impressive on the Internet. You’ll learn ways to make your map communicate to others.

Part V

Part V, titled The Part of Tens, is a collection of informative chapters and ref­erence guides. Mostly they are lists of extra stuff that didn’t seem to fit any­where else in the book.
