From ActivityOwnerWiki
The MindManager Macro Library lists SAX Basic macros that might help you be more productive with MindManager from the ActivityOwner.Com Blog. Several of these are beginner level attempts so use with caution. If the files do not download but instead display in the browser, you can paste them into the macro editor to save them or (for Internet Explorer) install a registry fix from MindJet. If you have additions/suggestions you'd like to make below, just send an email to info at activityowner.com. While most of the wiki is open to editing, most of the code is protected.
NOTE: Several of these macro require that you also download "ao_common.mmbas" into the same directory in order to run them.
