![]() NovaMind 5 for Mac OS examines the text of all of the visible topics that are going to be printed, and determines the minimum font size in your map. One of the challenges of printing large mind maps in any program is keeping font sizes legible. There is also the option to print without the topic text, ideal for use in settings where you want to provide the audience with handouts where people fill in the blanks as you go through your presentation. NovaMind 5 for Mac OS X will feature a new printing dialogue box (click on the image above to view a larger version), which give you options for printing with or without the background image (printing with it tends to take a lot of ink), printing with crop marks so that you can accurately cut pages and join them to make larges-scale print-outs, and adding a border around the entire mind map. Here’s an executive summary of what to look for in this forthcoming release: As expected, this innovative new release pushes the envelope in numerous areas in terms of functionality, and makes the most of the highly visual Mac interface.
