Cassius, Bob fyi
Strange, a) Notemap’s export to word function works fine for me. And b) I don’t see any option allowing me to send from Notemap as RTF. I click; it opens in Word as a doc file.
The only bug I see in the exported doc is the lack of a space between numerals after 9 and the first line of text. Since numbered text is for my own use, this isn’t a problem (and I could probably sort it out by messing around with word).
I’m running MS Word 2002 SP3 and the latest Notemap v 2.1.0.11.

Ike,
I’m running Word 2000, so perhaps “Send to Word” works properly with your, newer version.
I also run the latest version of NoteMap. The bug I mentioned occurs when I have a NoteMap “note” (= numbered outline item) that includes more than one paragraph, where the succeeding paragraphs in the note are not numbered. When exported to Word 2000, every paragraph becomes numbered, even the ones that were not numbered in Notemap.
To “export” to an rtf file in NoteMap:
Choose FILE, SAVE AS, SAVE AS TYPE, (down arrow to) RICH TEXT (*.rtf). Then choose a file name and SAVE.

Cassius,
Don’t go upgrading your Word app. At least not to avoid the NoteMap export bug. Yes, I agree now that it is a bug. I’ve got the same problem.
When I export from NoteMap to Word using the MS Word icon in the toolbar, the drop down list, those paragraphs which would be hidden if the numbered note was folded, have numbers; they shouldn’t. This throws the whole document out of whack. A nuisance, I can see.
I’ve never noticed because I never add paragraphs within numbered notes. The numbering is just for my own use while I’m building up a piece. In Word, after exporting, I get rid of the formatting, add paragraph breaks and rewrite.
And, yes, your solution works. Save as rich text is the way to go.
Thanks for putting me straight.
Ike

What I mean by “formating” is the indentation/tab spacing in Inspiration seems hard-coded. My outlines tend to have 3-5 sub-levels, with the indenting Inspiration forces, the deepest levels are less than half a page wide.
In a perfect world, I’d have a single-pane outliner that used style-sheets users could control.
