That worked but did you notice that Notemap doesn’t have any/much in the way of exporting.

There’s a new format with Word 2007. Users of older versions (2003 and I think 2000) are automatically prompted to download a conversion program from MS when they try to open the file.

SHAME on MS. The conversion should be automatic. So much for “user friendly.” A good reason NOT to buy Office 2007.

Jan,
Yes, I tried the “send to word” from NoteMap. It was incredibly slow - I thought my machine was hung. And the outline levels were a bit screwed up after the export. Why can’t anybody get this right??
