Versions of NoteMap prior to this one did not do a perfect job of saving outline files in RTF format [Save as *.rtf]. I just tried such a save of a NoteMap outline, and it seems that the problems have been fixed in this latest update. Others may wish to verify this (or not).

“In reference to my first posting in this thread and Dan7000’s experience (in the “Export=>Import=>Export=>... from PIM to PIM to ...” thread), it is true that the NoteMap “Send to ..Word” function DOES NOT work properly. I suggest trying “Save As *.rtf and then open the *.rtf file in Word. This seems to work well…at least with my version of Word 2000.

I’m running v 2.1.011, and I had some trouble with “send to Word” - not sure if that’s exactly identical to the RTF export. Here are the problems I had:

1. exporting a 1500-topic outline (up to 9 deep), took over 15 minutes (2GHz machine, 1 gig ram, little else running). during that time, machine pretty much unresponsive. Word and Notemap and Outlook totally unresponsive.

2. topics with text that included an initial number—e.g. “2. problems with this approach”—ended up at totally incorrect outline levels - usually they were indented too little. Because of the nature of outlines this really screwed up the organization below and above any such topics.

Everything else seemed fine.

Dan,

I urge you to try the “Save to” rtf file format. As I said, opening the rtf file with my Word 2000 gave me a perfect copy of the NoteMap outline.

Dan, I’m sure you realize that ADM can export as RTF, XML & HTML so there’s no sense converting to word first. You also include metadata so you can recreate items, etc as you wish. None of this is ideal. What’s missing IMO is CSV export, including title | creation date | form fields | keywords.

If this were possible you could map the fields to another DB that imports/maps csv.
