[stylist] Mind mapping

Wed Oct 19 16:49:15 UTC 2011

The website http://www.mind-mapping.co.uk/make-mind-map.htm illustrates the
process of creating a mind map and provides an image of one as well.  This
mind map illustration shows the structure of the mind mapping process.  With
the help of a sighted person, I translated this mind map image into a Word
document using an outline.  With a little luck the Word document should be
attached below.

Yes, you could use PowerPoint to create a mind map (after the fact).  I
think the complexity and slowness of PowerPoint would hinder the creative
flow of the Mind Mapping process.  However, PowerPoint would provide a
better illustration of a mind map for a sighted person.
