Exporting a document

The file export function can be used to transfer a Mind Express document from one computer or device to another computer or device. In this case you can first export the document, copy it to a USB memory stick and import it.

You can export documents to share with colleagues and friends or you can export files to share online through http://www.mindexpress.be

  1. Open the document you wish to export.
  2. Choose File > Export > Current document....
  3. Choose the location to save the document to and if necessary, change the file name.
  4. Click Save.
  5. As required, change the details in the Author:, Contact: and Info: fields.
  6. From the Export: option group, select or deselect the required check boxes:
    Option Explanation
    Images If you select this option, all linked pictures are exported together with the document.
    Sounds If you select this option, all linked media library sounds are exported together with the document.
    Linked documents If you select this option, all linked documents are exported together with the document. So also the linked documents in the linked documents.
    Music If you select this option, all linked music files (such as mp3 files) are exported together with the document. The size of the exported file can become very substantial if a large number of music files are exported together with the file.
    Video If you select this option, all linked video files (such as WMP) are exported together with the document. The size of the exported file can become very substantial if a large number of video files are exported together with the file.
    Note: If you have the same document on the computer as on your device, and you have only made changes to the document (so not to the pictures, sounds, music or video), then you can deselect all the options in the Export: options group before exporting the file. This will reduce the size of the file and you will be able to export and import it much faster.
  7. Click OK.
    In the top of the Export dialog you will see an overview of the exported files. The images will appear in blue, the sound files in violet and all other files that are linked to the document will appear in green. In the bottom you will see an overview of the symbols used in the export.
    Note: If symbol sets are used in the exported file, which are not available on the computer or device where the file is being imported, then the cells with these symbols are not filled.
  8. Click OK.
