|-
| | Show screenshot of newly exported file.
| | The output file format will look different without the numbering.

|-
| | '''Slide Number 7'''

'''Text to map conversion'''
| |
* Next, let's look at conversion of structured text to map.
* Here, we will condense long documents into a map without losing it’s structure.

|-
| | Go to '''Desktop'''.
| | Go to '''Desktop''' directory.

I have made a structured '''open office''' document named '''import.odt'''.
|-
| | Open '''import.odt'''.
| | Double click on '''import.odt''' file icon and open it in '''Libreoffice'''.
|-
| | Hover mouse over title, index, page 5 and chapter number.
| | It is titled '''Solar system''', has a table of contents with sections.

It is 5 pages long.
|-
| | Cursor on the text file.
| | This text is about '''Solar system'''.
|-
| | Cursor on '''Mercury'''.
| | Notice the font formatting in '''Mercury'''.
|-
| | Press '''Ctrl+A''', then press '''Ctrl+C'''.
| | Let’s select the whole document by pressing '''Ctrl+A.'''

Copy the whole document with the command''' Ctrl+C'''.
|-
| | Press '''Ctrl+N'''.
| | Go back to '''Freeplane''' and press '''Ctrl+N''' to open a new map.
|-
| | Click on the '''OK button'''.
| | A dialogue box appears, prompting to choose a style template for the new map.

Retain the default and click on the '''OK button'''.
|-
| | Click on '''Edit, Paste as'''.
| | Click on '''Edit, Paste as''' to open the '''paste as''' dialogue box.
|-
| | Choose the '''Html as node hierarchy''' option and Click on '''Ok'''.
| | Choose the '''Html as node hierarchy''' option and Click on '''Ok'''.
|-
| | Hover mouse over the pasted text.

| | The 5 pages long document is pasted into the concept map in a structured form.
|-
| | Select '''root node''' and Unfold all nodes in the map.
| | Select the '''root node'''.

Unfold and show all the nodes in the map.

Notice that title and index is seen as a separate child '''node'''.

|-
| | Cursor on the map.
| | Each section in the text document is imported into a different '''node''' in the map.

Sub-sections are structured into child nodes.

|-
| | Cursor next to '''Mercury node'''.
| | Notice, the font formatting of '''Mercury''' is also retained.

This formatting is different from the rest of the nodes.

|-
| | Hover mouse over '''Sun''' and planets.
| | Mostly the software has read the formatting as desired.

|-
| | Cursor on the map.
| | However, there are few minor issues.

|-
| | Cursor on the '''Sun node''' and on the details of '''Sun'''.
| | Text body of '''Solar system''' appear as sibling node instead of child node or notes.

We can change it to a child '''node''' or as '''notes''' to the '''Solar system node'''.

It would improve the map formatting.

|-
| | Select the three nodes which give details of '''Sun''' as sibling node.
| | Select and copy the details of '''Solar system''' appearing as sibling node.

Drag them towards the '''Solar system node'''.

|-
| | Drop the three nodes on '''Sun node'''.
| | When the '''Solar system node''' turns to light grey, drop the sibling node.

|-
| | Cursor on map, showing child nodes of '''Sun'''.
| | Now it is a child node instead of being a sibling node.

|-
| | Show '''Edit, Move and Sort''' submenu.
| | Menu alternate to this is the sub menu, in '''Edit, Move and Sort''' option.

|-
| | Go to '''Earth Node'''.
| | Go to '''Earth Node'''.

|-
| | Unfold and hover mouse over '''Earth''' and 5 child nodes.
| | '''Moon''', '''satellites''' and '''Hubble''' '''telescope''' appear as children of '''Earth'''.

|-
| | Hover mouse next to '''satellite node'''.
| | Notice the 3 sub sections in the '''satellite node'''.

There three sections were structured so in the text document.

|-
| |
| | Pause the video and practice formatting to your choice.

|-
| | Cursor on the map.
| | Here too if images are present, they will not get imported to the concept map.

|-
| | Show screenshot of '''Freeplane''' user forum.
| | When using advanced features, users may come across few issues in the software.

For such queries, check '''Freeplane''' updates and '''user forum''' for latest information.

|-
| | Press''' Control S'''.
| | Press''' Control S''' to save the map.

|-
| | Type filename '''imported- document.mm''', and click on '''Save'''.
| | Type the filename and save in the '''Desktop''' directory.

|-
| | Click on '''File, Quit Freeplane'''.
| | Click on '''File, Quit Freeplane''' to quit '''Freeplane'''.
