Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Drawing boundaries around topics, part of MindManager 2016 for Windows Essential Training.
- When you define topics and subtopics,…it's often clear what the relationship…between the topics is, and also,…where the boundary is of a particular set of ideas,…or topics, ends.…That said, there might be times where you want…to define a group of topics that is not obvious…from the text within their shapes.…Or, you just might want to use a boundary…to highlight a particular part of the map.…In this movie, I will show you how to draw boundaries…around topics to make those groupings more obvious.…My sample file is the Boundary.mmap,…and you can find that in the Chapter 02 folder…of your Exercise Files collection.…
This map contains a central topic,…about a hotel room type that is being redesigned.…And also four main topics.…Let's say that I want to highlight a particular set…of those topics.…For example, perhaps Fiber optic to room,…and its two subtopics.…To do that, I can click the Fiber optic to room topic…to select it.…Doing so activates the boundary button,…or control on the home tab of the ribbon.…See if I click away, so nothing is selected,…
