| This won't fit your free or cheap bill, but Inspiration is the only tool I found that lets you enter an outline as text, then creates the tree diagram, though it does some quirky things. I mean, this is not rocket science, but nobody has really made a tool that makes this as simple as it should be. I once saw a description of how you can do this with excel and visio (export a very specifically organized excel file in a certain format and then import into visio for "instant" text to diagram) - it was so complex and convoluted, I could take art lessons and draw the Sisteen Chapel in less time! :-) |
