* '''To and from Microsoft Excel''' Import and export with Microsoft Excel works by drag & drop or copy & paste of complete nodes. You can copy a selection of cells in Excel and drop it in FreeMind. Doing this with several columns, creates corresponding child nodes. This also works with the '''OpenOffice.org Calc''' spreadsheet application.
* '''To and from OpenOffice Writer''' To export to OpenOffice Writer you first need to have all of the nodes on the right-hand side of the main/parent node in the mindmap (please make a correction if this is wrong). Then choose 'Select all' in the FreeMind mind map, go to OpenOffice Writer and select 'File > Paste'. OpenOffice Writer layouts using tab indentation can also be pasted into FreeMind which will recreate their tree structure.<br/>NB: Upcoming Freemind 0.9 supports direct export to OpenOffice Writer File (odt).
* '''To Microsoft Word 2003''' To export to Microsoft Word, you need to select only the top-most node, which you want to export. Next, copy the node in Freemind and paste it into Word. this will copy the entire hierarchy starting with the selected node. This works even, when not all sub-notes were to the right of the one selected. If you would select and copy all nodes, export would end up with duplicate nodes and sub-nodes.
*'''From Microsoft Word 2003''' Importing from Microsoft Word ended up with a confused hierarchy. (Please, can someone try how to do this best).
* '''From KeyNote''' To prepare a file from Keynote, save your tree structure by selecting 'Tree > Save Tree to File'. Open the created file as a text file and use select all to copy all content. In FreeMind, select a node and paste the content. FreeMind analyzes the tree structure in the file and builds a mind map.
* '''From the Internet''' You can copy part of a web page in your browser and paste it to FreeMind. FreeMind analyzes the tree structure in the HTML and builds a mind map. The other formatting (bold, font sizes, etc.) is not taken into FreeMind.
* '''To and from GanttProject''' To do this you will need the [http://johanneskutsam.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1961B7AE7280AAFD!264.entry XSL conversion script]. If you don't want to download the xalan package, you can use the xsl template in the zip archive on this page from FreeMind File > [[Export using XSLT]]....
* Almost every outliner should be capable of exporting to a tab-indented outline. This can be pasted to FreeMind.
