|style="width: 50%;|Step 3 - Now you see that the mind map is named Food and the root node is called Food.  To insert other words that are connected, you can enter them as child nodes.  To enter these nodes, you can use the "Enter" key or "Insert" key after selecting the node to which the child nodes must be added.  Here, the child nodes have been added after selecting the node "Food".  The child nodes added are called sibling nodes and the main node is called parent node.

|style="width: 50%;|Step 6 - We will also see that sometimes these concepts are very large and we may want to create a new mind to study them.  For example, in this mind map we may want to create a new mind map called agriculture to study.  After we create a new  mind map called agriculture, we can insert a "file link" to open the new mind map when the node "agriculture" is clicked.  To do this, we click on node called agriculture and click on "Insert".  Under Insert, click on "Hyperlink  - File chooser". This will open a window from where you  can select the document name to be opened.  This can be a mind map. The file can be a picture or video also.
