Description

Mind Map Maker for Excel is a native Windows desktop Excel-based app that turns plain-text lists and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) data into visual mind maps, org charts, and flowcharts directly inside Microsoft Excel (2016+). Engineered for technical users, analysts, and project managers who want to eliminate manual shape drawing, the add-in uses a local calculation engine to determine geometric node placement, spacing, and connector path routing automatically. Technical Overview & Key Capabilities: • Local Execution & Data Privacy: Runs on-premise as a native COM add-in. All diagram calculations occur locally on your machine—no spreadsheet data is transmitted to external cloud servers or third-party web whiteboards. • Automated Layout Engine: Reads hierarchical text rows or WBS codes (e.g., 1.1, 1.2) to calculate layout geometry, position shapes, and draw straight, elbow, or curved connector lines with zero manual drag-and-drop. • Native Office Shape Export: Renders diagrams using standard Microsoft Office graphic objects. Generated charts can be copied and pasted directly into Word or PowerPoint as fully editable, native shapes without losing formatting or requiring add-in installation for viewers. • Ribbon UI Integration: Adds a dedicated tab to the Excel ribbon with single-click tools to insert, delete, reorder, elevate (Make Parent), or demote (Make Child) node tiers and filter tree rendering depth (Levels 1–5). • Distribution & Compatibility: Distributed via official Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace channels. Supports Windows 10/11 (X86/X64) and desktop Office 2016 or newer ($2.99/mo, fully functional free trial available).

Description

Begin writing without hesitation—Slugline manages the screenplay formatting seamlessly as you compose. You receive an impressive Outline, a Timeline, and color-coded notes, all while keeping your hands on the keyboard and utilizing a plain-text file compatible with various platforms. Slugline 2 is available for free download, functioning without any watermarks or restrictions until you reach page six, after which you can opt for the Unlimited Writing upgrade. Test it out at no cost, or if you focus solely on short films, you won’t incur any charges! Slugline 2 features a dark mode and an entirely revamped design that preserves the cherished simplicity of Slugline, allowing easy access to formatting options, the Outline Navigator, and the new Timeline that provides an overarching view of your structure and pacing. Similar to virtual index cards on a corkboard, any component visible in Slugline 2's Outline Navigator can be rearranged by dragging, and the corresponding screenplay sections will move accordingly, making it an invaluable resource for brainstorming and organizing your ideas in an outline format. This innovative approach encourages creativity and enhances the writing process, ensuring that your storytelling evolves smoothly.
