Editing topic text

To edit a topic's text:

Select a topic in Map View or Outline View.
In Map View, click again to begin edit mode.

In Outline View, double-click to begin edit mode.
Position the cursor or select the text you want to replace and type the new text.
In Map View press Return to finish editing.

In Outline View, press Enter to finish editing, or press Return to stay in edit mode and add a sibling topic.

Tip: To replace the entire topic in Map View just select the topic and type the new text.

If you usually prefer to append the new text you type to existing text (instead of replacing it) choose Mindjet MindManager > Preferences and deselect "Typing replaces selection." Any new text you type will be added to the end of the existing topic text.

To add text inside a topic by pasting:

Select the text in MindManager or another application and press Command-C to copy it.
In MindManager, select the destination topic.
In Map View, click again to begin edit mode.

In Outline View, double-click to begin edit mode.
Position the cursor or select the text you want to replace.
Press Command-V to paste the new text.

If the pasted text is formatted, it may not match the formatting of other text on your map. To match the other topics' formatting, in Map View, select the topic where you added the text and choose Format > Use Default Format.

If you want MindManager to automatically begin a new map on startup, in the Preferences dialog, under On Startup, select "Create new map". The new map will use the default Map Template you have chosen.

You can paste text to create new topics, and cut, copy, and paste entire topics to re-arrange your map. To use an entire document from another application you can import it. To learn more, see the Related Topics below.
