I'm nothing more than a dabbler when it comes to mind maps, to be sure, but I had a similar reaction to that stencil. It seemed like if you weren't going to have pretty much the same structure, many of the pieces might not be very convenient to use, at least compared to a purpose-built mind map tool such as NovaMind. But, if someone finds that it works for them, I won't attempt to tell them otherwise :-) I can certainly understand the desire to use expensive software you already own rather than buying another expensive program!
