Application help as mind map

FreeMind comes with the documentation in the form of mind map, available from application menu Help > Documentation. The documentation is a succint description of FreeMind functions, rather than a mind mapping text book. You can also browse the documentation now <mm>applet|in a Java applet browser</mm> (with around 700 KB that requires Java 1.4.2 or later) which gives you a proper FreeMind feeling. And you can <mm>flash|try a much smaller flash based FreeMind map viewer</mm>.

Application help as HTML help

Help similar to the one delivered as a mind map is available in a form similar to Windows help, to be found in application menu Help > Help.

PDF documentation

PDF documentation, nice to print and much more professional looking than the application help, has been written by Shailaja Kumar. It features illustrations, hand-holding detailed instructions, and index.
