OpenOffice Writer: Create mind map

A mind map is also quickly created in the OpenOffice Writer. You only need to insert the appropriate objects and lines.

1. Open a new document and look for "Show drawing functions" in the top menu bar. Click on it.
2. Now a bar appears at the bottom with which you can insert different shapes into the document. For example, select the rectangle and place it in the document.
3. You can write inside the rectangle and also change the color. To do this, right-click in the rectangle and then select "Area".
4. Use the drawing function to add other elements such as arrows, lines, speech bubbles or circles.
5. This is how you gradually build a mind map.
6. Note: We recommend that you use landscape format for a mind map. This gives your ideas more space.
