How to format links in Word doc for import to Mindmanager?

<crestfallen>me</crestfallen>

Thank you for the info. I'll move forward with them as topic notes, while keeping my fingers crossed it's a to-be-fixed bug or there's an in-flight enhancement for Word import mapping.

Thank you,

Chris

Thanks Chris - I know it's a bummer.

I've written this up as a bug here: https://community.mindmanager.com/topic/1586-bug-when-importing-word-documents-formatted-with-mindmanager-paragraph-styles

Also I proposed the equivalent of the Excel Data Mapper to give users control over the import of Word documents a few months ago - perhaps you could vote for it :) https://community.mindmanager.com/topic/1462-develop-an-equivalent-to-the-excel-data-mapper-for-importing-word-files

Hi Chris,

Good news - it seems the function is still there. All you now have to do is to indent the MM Hyperlink paragraph a certain distance. You can see the comment from Alexey and my response here: https://community.mindmanager.com/topic/1586-bug-when-importing-word-documents-formatted-with-mindmanager-paragraph-styles

It worked! thank you!

To format links in a Word document for import to MindManager, you should first ensure that the links in the Word document are active and clickable. You can then save the Word document as a Web page(*.html) and import the resulting HTML file into MindManager. This will preserve the links and make them clickable within MindManager. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the text with links into MindManager and then use the "Paste and Match Style" option to retain the link formatting. You can get surety to test this link if you are unsatisfied.

The instructions in the comment from "Bennett S." don't make any sense and in fact I think this may be spam.

MindManager does not have a direct HTML file import facility, nor a "Paste and Match Style" option. In fact, pasting text from a Word file directly into a map just results in each paragraph becoming a main topic in the map, including links. As topics these links may be coloured blue (or whatever the default link colour is in your Word template) but they are not live.

Finally I'm very suspicious of the link in the last paragraph which I haven't clicked on but which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the topic. I think this is actually a piece of spam that was originally posted on a community forum for another application and then clumsily edited to refer to MindManager and posted here.

I've documented the process for importing Word documents with MindManager 21 and 22 here: https://sociamind.com/2023/01/31/mindmanager-gaps-and-tricks-4-how-to-include-hyperlinks-and-task-and-topic-information-when-importing-a-word-document-mm21-22-update/

1. Create a new paragraph in your Word document. 2. Type out the text for your link. 3. Select the text and click the Insert tab on the Ribbon. 4. Click on the Hyperlink button. 5. Enter the URL for the link OF Bailiff in the Address field. 6. Click OK. 7. Repeat these steps for each link you want to add. 8. When your Word document is ready for import into Mindmanager, select all the text containing the links and press Ctrl + K (or right-click and select Hyperlinks). 9. This will display a window with the options to either select or remove the links. 10. Select the Remove Links option and click OK. 11. This will remove the links from your Word document, but leave the text intact. 12. Save your document and import it into Mindmanager.

Hi Sheri,

Your suggested instructions are a little confusing and don't produce the desired result. Chris C wanted to retain the hyperlinks as well as their names as topics. Also the "Bailiff" link in point 5 seems irrelevant and in fact may be a scam.

excellent! thank you!

Thanks.

I should clarify that while the release notes talk about hyperlinks being recognised correctly when pasting material into a MindManager map, the same behaviour appears to apply when importing Word documents - even though this isn't mentioned.

Importing rather than copying and pasting is still by far the best way to go when you are dealing with a Word document, because this is the only way to get the Word heading structure to be recognised in the topic hierarchy in the map.

When creating a Word document with links to import into MindManager, it's important to format the links correctly to ensure they are properly transferred to the mind map. First, ensure that the link is formatted as a hyperlink in the Word document. This can be done by link highlighting the text you want to hyperlink, right-clicking, and selecting "Hyperlink" from the dropdown menu. Then, enter the URL or file path in the "Address" field and click "OK" to create the hyperlink.

Once the hyperlinks are created, save the Word document and open MindManager. From the "File" menu, select "Import" and choose the Word document. In the import settings, ensure that the "Hyperlink" option is selected. MindManager will then import the hyperlinks and create a new topic for each link in the mind map.

There seem to be an increasing number of these sham answers appearing in the forum with step-by-step "instructions" which are wholly or partly wrong. They also all contain at least one dodgy link which you should avoid at all costs - in this case, don't click on the link in the third line in Michael M.'s "comment".

Hi Chris,

Regrettably I spoke too soon.

The "automated" links process unfortunately has not fixed the problem when importing Word documents that freestanding link URLs end up in topic notes rather than as hyperlinks attached to the relevant topic. The only way to ensure the latter occurs is still to apply the MM Word "MM Hyperlink" style to the links in the Word document prior to import.

However, there is one small improvement: you no longer have to indent these MM Hyperlink-formatted paragraphs as discussed earlier in this thread, so essentially the situation in MindManager 23 has reverted to what it was prior to MM20.

Apologies for any confusion - I should have done more testing. I tried importing quickly with your original example document and it worked correctly. I assumed that the links had the standard Word link style, when in fact you had applied the MM Hyperlink style.

To format links in a Word document for import to MindManager, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Word document containing the links that you want to import into MindManager.
2. Identify the links in the document and make sure they are in a format recognized by MindManager (e.g., web URLs).
3. Select the text or image that represents the link in the Word document.
4. Right-click on the selected text or image and choose the Access "Hyperlink" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + K.
5. In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, enter the appropriate URL or web address in the "Address" or "URL" field.
6. Click "OK" to save the hyperlink.
7. Repeat these steps for each link you want to format

Do NOT CLICK THE LINK IN MICHAEL POST ABOVE.

SCAM AND DANGEROUS

Yet another scam - do not click on the link.

I’m not sure why this conversation has attracted so many of these responses with fake instructions and dodgy links, but perhaps someone could close it for further comment.
