Designing a mind map

You can customize the look of your entire mind map by applying design options to it.

Most design options give you a live preview of their effect on the mind map. It is therefore easier to judge the overall effect once you have entered a few branches and sub-branches in the mind map.

Click the Design tab at the right of the ribbon.

Choose formatting options as desired:

Select a different layout for the mind map.

Select a different style for the mind map. Click the plus sign to display more styles.

Select a different page color for the mind map by choosing Page Color .

Reset the mind map to the default style by choosing Reset Style .

Resetting the mind map to the default style also removes any formatting you may have applied to individual branches. For more information on formatting individual branches, see "Formatting a branch".
