Using Microsoft OneNote 2010 (beta) with Mindjet MindManager Pro

Your video is interesting but your mind map is a bit overloaded. You might just get confused but if you made it all the way and it worked for you fine but not for me. I also noticed that you were copying and pasting your notes into your maps. I don't think it is a good idea to retain much. Me I would use this programme b/c its faster but the best is to draw it from memory everything that you have retained and then complete with your notes. But interesting...good job!

are you in med school?

i was trying to use mindmapping (i was using a program called vue) for physiology... and there were just too many relations I ended drawing too many lines all over the place connecting all these different nodes and i just ended up more confused

@areufkingkiddingme I know! It's so easy to end up with an enormous mindmap, especially for huge subjects like Physiology, however it makes for a great revision guide and you can always copy parts of the mindmap into new documents for smaller documents that are more manageable

@raphaelmalikian What tablet PC are you using for note taking?

[raphaelmalikian]

@Telefonica1231 I use a Lenovo X61 Tablet PC

Thanks for the video! I first saw it a couple of months ago when I was converting all my notes to OneNote -- but Mindmanager is so much easier to see the entire concept of an entire subject in one page!

[raphaelmalikian]

@ggn1 exactly! and Mindmanager lets you export the notes as a webpage which is pretty sweet too

[raphaelmalikian]

@superhottie89 haha! oh yeah! BEAST! Thanks a lot!

I think it sounded to me from the video that you did not use MindManager for note taking at lectures.

[raphaelmalikian]

@cabrevids I use mindmanager to take notes from textbooks when studying, using onenote for classes

Hi Raphael

Good to see you integrating the two products. A few thoughts:

1. I just tested dragging selected text from OneNote to MindManager. It works and may speed the process up.

2. You can drag multiple lines across and they will form multiple topics.

3. Have you tried using MindManager in Ink mode for taking notes. I have been doing it this way on Tablet PCs with MindManager for 5 years at meetings.

@cabrevids thanks for your comment! Dragging the lines across worked a charm and it's been great! I've been using ink in MindManager too, those topics 'Most occur during..." and "50% conceptions..." on the screen are inked :-)

@raphaelmalikian

MindManager has inkmode? How come I do not see this option? Or for Table PC only?

[raphaelmalikian]

@kiatlc thanks for the comment, not sure if it's just a Tablet PC function which MindManager enables if it detects tablet functionality or not, but I am using standard MindManager - not some kind of tablet PC special version!
