In Map View, topic text is always displayed as a caption beneath a symbol image. When a topic is detached, the topic text can be displayed inside the symbol or beneath the symbol. When the text is inside a symbol, it can be useful to apply a white background to the text to make it more visible. See Applying a white background to text on a mind map.

To display topic text inside a symbol on a mind map:

1.Select the topic.

2.Choose Effect>Symbol, then clear the tick next to Captioned Text on the sub-menu.

The topic text is displayed as a caption when a tick appears next to the Captioned Text menu item.
