    From the help page of Inspiration 9.

    You can save a diagram, mind map or outline as slides that can be opened in
    Microsoft PowerPoint or other presentation applications. The exported document
    contains formatted topic text. The main idea becomes the presentation title, and
    each first level topic becomes a separate slide. Subtopics become slide content.
    You can choose to include hidden subtopics and hidden notes.

    Hyperlinks, graphics, audio files and videos inserted into notes are not
    included in the exported document. Video symbols are converted to symbol
    text.

    =========

    You can also export diagrams in a variety of formats for use in PP

    yes that is what I would like to see. Some way to visualize notes and show how the items are related.

    Logos' weakness is in notes. The whole separation of notes and clippings they did in Logos 4 was certainly a great disappointment after years of prompting them. It is not all that imaginative. I simply say that to indicate that I have no hope that they will show much cleverness or put much effort into this. Instead of redesigning Logos, I think it's doable to provide some linkage to outside programs then they can focus on what they do best and let others develop external methods for organizing and displaying the results of their research.

    Have a great day,

    It (Inspiration 9) has a full array of keyboard shortcuts

    Can you steer me to some documentation on shortcuts?  I cannot find it.

    Been following the thread since its inception. Although I may add MindGenuis as well, I downloaded the Inspiration trial after you recommended it. While it doesn't do everything I'd like - which is why I'll probably add MindGenuis, too - I really like it and the price is right!

    So thanks for your input. I doubt I would have learned about it otherwise.

    Lastly, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by being able to create a link which would open a resource in Logos to a particular location.  We already have that feature.  Do you mean with less clicks? 

    I'm not aware of this. In Mind Manager I can create a link to a web page or file. When I click on that link it opens a web browser or the appropriate document program.  Can I create a link in MM that would open Logos and take me to a location in a specific resource? 

    Yes, you can do this!  In Logos, go to the location you desire.  Click the little drop down arrow next to the book icon in the upper left of the panel.  Towards the bottom of the list there is an option "Copy Location As...".  Choose "URL".  Switch over to MM and select "Paste|Hyperlink".  At this point the link will not work yet, but you can then right-click the link and "edit hyperlink" and change the hyperlink path from "Relative" to "Absolute".

    Hope this helps!

    Merely curiosity on my part - what is it that you like about MindGenius? I often use ArguNet which has a terrific price[;)] And I still use Logos 3 for timelines.

    ooooooo! I didn't know about this!. The link itself looks unusual, but I followed your directions and it worked! Thanks Jesse!

    Well, I was going to say its flexibility and MS Office Suite compatibility coupled with a super academic discount ... until you mentioned ArguNet, which as a secondary program (to Inspiration) is even better suited to my needs, with a price that just can't be beat! So, thanks yet again! [:)]

    I've used Inspiration for years. Inspiration is targeted at teachers and provides mind-mapping, tree diagrams, outlines, graphic organizer templates etc. at a very reasonable price.  I've tried several other programs and always end up going back to Inspiration.

    A question for those of you that use Inspiration:  is it possible to create links within Inspiration that link back to LOGOS?  The tech-support people at Inspiration tell me now, but I suspect that there is a workaround.

    I have been working through the Learn Hebrew & Greek lessons.  I'm in the middle of the Hebrew video on word study, chasing down "council of the Lord" in Jeremiah 23:18 where "sod" is the word behind "council".  I started copying the notetaking in the video, using both Logos notes but also in freemind -- which I decided to try motivated by this thread.  I enjoyed the ability to quickly move nodes around and make visual connections.  And I was able to make links back to Logos -- to verses, Bible word study tool, searches, and notes.  I assume passage lists and other resources would be linkable too. (see image below - I hope it shows up OK.  It looks kind of small.)

    Then I copied the note I made in freemind and pasted it into a Logos note.  That worked well, too, although I had to use another program like KeyNote or msWord to get better line spacing.  It comes in as an indented outline. (see 2nd image below)

    Anyway, I'm glad I ran onto this thread.  I think I'm going to enjoy using freemind along with Logos.  Hopefully they will become more friendly with each other as time goes by.  I left a note on the freemind forums asking how to make refTagger work in freemind -- that would be very useful, as others have pointed out.

    I must have downloaded the bigger one because I have svg and pdf export options.

    I am really enjoying this nimble little program.  I installed at work, too, where it has become my computer best friend.

    I asked this question a while back, but did not see an answer.  Thank you for any help.
