We're writing a Risk Management book and were using another "mapping" tool. We switched to MindManager so the content of the maps can be exported in outline form for writing the chapter content. MM allows us to collect all the references with URL, add pictures, build detailed outlines and export all the wit MSFT Word
Much easier to use
