bullet3 The Basics

bullet2 Selecting Objects

To select any item (Title, Branch, or Symbol): Just point and click

You can also use the arrow keys and the Tab key to move through the Branches.

Advanced Hint: As you become familiar with MindManager Smart you may want quick access to some commands. You can right-click on an object to see its context menu. This pop-up menu lists common commands for the currently selected object.


bullet2 Drag and Drop

Objects in MindManager Smart can be moved or copied using a technique called "drag and drop". This means clicking on an object and holding down the mouse button as you move the mouse, "dragging" the object. When the mouse pointer is at the correct location, release the mouse button. The object is "dropped" at this new location.

bullet2 Preferences

The Preferences options include:

Main branch spacing
Use this option to increase or decrease the spacing between the Main Branches on your map.
Language script
Controls which character set to use. You must have this character set installed on your system.
Creamy white background
This "creamy" color is easier on the eyes. If unchecked, the default window color (usually white) is used.
Automatic backup copy
Effortlessly and automatically saves your work at intervals you specify.
Refresh symbols
This updates the Symbol Gallery thumbnails. You should use this option after importing Symbols.
