MindManager X5 Pro software enables capturing and organizing information in map or diagram format during project brainstorming or planning, Mindjet said. The information can be exported to PDF format, to Web pages, and to any of the major Microsoft Office programs in different formats: for example, Microsoft Word, Project, or PowerPoint. Communication features among team members are also included.
This release of MindManager X5 Pro can be run on Windows Server 2003 running Terminal Services or on the Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 environment. It provides an editable Windows Installer file for the option of push deployment to the desktop. Users require Windows NT 4.0 SP6, 2000 or XP Professional, Home or Tablet PC Edition.
The 5.2 update improves integration with Microsoft Word in several ways. Tables of contents, headers and footers can be included in export to Word. Maps can be saved as outlines in plain text or html for incorporation into Word documents or Web sites. Tab structure is maintained when tab-delimited text is imported from Word into MindManager.
Microsoft Tablet PC support includes an in-place tablet input panel to simplify and accelerate writing in the tablet environment. Real-time handwriting recognition converts written words to text and allows editing and correction. Finally, a left-handed user interface option improves ease of use for left-handed users of both desktop and Tablet PC platforms.
Release 5.2, currently available, is a free update to existing MindManager X5 Pro customers. The product is priced at $299 to new customers, with volume licensing and academic pricing available.
