Does anyone know if Rationale 2 is compatible with Windows 7?
Thanks

Hi Tommy,

We're not sure exactly what you mean by a 'counterargument structure';
can you give us an example?

Rationale does include boxes like 'Opposing argument' and 'Rebuttal',
and it's possible to create co-premise structures.

All the best

Can Rationale also display a counterargument structure, somewhat like
Aracauria does?

I requested the "print on multiple pages" feature in April (see post:

because our students too had lots of trouble printing their poster-
sized argument maps. Last year we used Rationale's predecessor
ReasonAble, which could print the maps on multiple pages with a few

Given the lack of the feature (see Dan's post from Austhink), I have a
suggestion for Austhink if this is possible/easy to do???

A "print preview" option in Rationale... so that one could see what
would be printed on an 8.5x11 from a given zoom size - or perhaps a
set of "margins" that indicate where a map would cut off, etc..

The simplest plan is to output the map as an image file. Then insert that image into Excel. In the page layout view, divide the image into convenient sizes. Print and tape the pieces together.

Hi Gary

Unfortunately there is no such feature. In practice we've found that
such features on other products are awkward to use
when you paste the pages back together.

One workaround is to selectively hide parts of the map and print a few
pages:

gcomst...@ncsu.edu (Gary Comstock) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:21:20 UT

My students are producing large maps that are not legible on standard
8 1/2 x 11" paper. Is there a feature to divide a map in two and
print the left side independently of the right side?

Re: Use of Jumble

Hi John,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to un-jumble a map once it has been
jumbled. The only way to bring it back is to either reload the file, or
reassemble it manually. It may take a while for a complex map, but the
ticks and crosses feedback in jumble mode will help you reassemble it

I am a new user of Rationale and having created by first complex map,
accidentaly pressed 'jumble' and it got all jumbled up - how do I fix
it?

Hi Ludwig,

We don't have Parallels here at Austhink (we're using VMWare) so can't
say for certain, but it depends on exactly what you're trying to do.

There shouldn't be any issues copying and pasting between Windows
applications, but I suspect you're trying to copy the image from
Rationale on Windows directly into a program on Mac. We had problems

Using Rationale on Mac

markus.kreu...@villanova.edu (Ludwig) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:53:51 UT

I just switched to a Mac and am using Rationale with the help of
Parallels. I noticed that that the save as image function does not
work when you try to copy the image of a Rationale map into let's say
Word or Powerpoint. Are there any solutions to this ?

bcnutt...@gmail.com (Brandon Nuttall) — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:12:58 UT

In addition to MS Paint, you can also insert the image into a spreadsheet
program and break it into separate pages. I've done this with MS Excel. I
haven't tried it with OpenOffice, but suspect it would work in that also.

Dear Hiro,

Thanks for your post, and sorry for the delay in responding.

We have long been aware of the problems with IME input for Japanese,
and have spent quite a lot of time and effort trying to isolate and
fix them. Rationale 2 has a lot of improvements in this area which
went a long way to fixing this problem. At this stage, the best thing
