Exporting map content as text

You can export your map in RTF and text formats that can be read by other applications such as Pages and other word processors, and TextEdit and other plain text editors. The map is exported as a list of topics, with floating topics, topic notes, and callouts included. Hyperlinks, attachments, relationships, icons and topic images are not included. Topic font and color is not included in plain text exports.

To export your map content as text:

Choose File > Export.
In the Export dialog, click the Text/Outline tab.
Select the type of export, and then click Next.

Text exports include the map text only, with the option to add line breaks to reflect the map hierarchy. You can open these with any plain-text editor such as TextEdit.
RTF (Rich Text Format) exports include most text formatting, but no graphical information like icons or images. You can open these files with most word-processors like Pages and Word.
RTFD (Rich Text Formatting with Attachments) exports are identical to RTF, except that images in topic Notes are included. (Topic images are not.)
OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) exports include structured text without formatting or any graphical information. You can open these files with OPML-aware applications.

Enter the name for the new file and choose its location, and then click Save.
