Hello, I really enjoy OneNote 2010 however I'm a bit curious if anything that mashes OneNote and Mind Mapping technology exist. The only thing I've found is for an older version of OneNote and for a ludicris price of $350. Any leads would be greatly appreciated, Thanks and Best Regards, Howard

You could do it with OneNote - use the hyperlinks in OneNote to connect ideas.  You could even use the Wikilinks feature to create new pages and link those.

If you want to draw boxes and lines you can do it, though OneNote isn't perhaps the most elegant solution for that and occasionally the lines can get moved awkwardly if you add things above or around them.

    All the previous posts makes sense, but it seems we're not enough to force it. Microsoft may have other priorities, than enhancing OneNote. Other developers may don't have the need and/or time to create a plugin.

    Anyway..., I recently played around with xmind (xmind.net). Today the base version is for free.

    Of course, you WILL NOT be able to interlink both applications, BUT......, with just a bit more effort you can:

    • copy & paste a node from xmind into OneNote.

    What you get is what MindMaps basically are...: a structured list

    • copy & paste a structured list from OneNote into xmind.

    What you get is a mind map. You simply need to adjust the appearance and order your sub-nodes

    Okay, you need to look where you've saved the file and paste the path into OneNote as well.

    Just my $ .02

    PS: I don't work for xmind, but perhaps they will have the resources to create a plugin or the interlink mechanic.

    I totally agree with that statement.

    I am already using my on device in the business. And I am using a Jot Pro Pen that enables me to hand-write on my surface RT.

    The killer app is OneNote with skydrive. I can use my notes on any device, also on my linux PC (via Firefox).

    What I miss is a mindmap integration in OneNote and a mail application that allows signing and encrypting mails.

    With the office bundle and the good hardware I will never change to iOS or Android.

    But there a only poor applications available for RT in the store. Who can help?

    Kind Regards,

    Frank
