automating links in process flowchart (like hyperlinks in org charts)

[KR]

I suspect there isn't, but just in case I'd rather ask a dumb question, vs.
doing a bunch of extra work...

When I use the org chart wizard, it automatically sets up hyperlinks across
pages

For our process maps, we want to be able to drill down- click on any step to
bring up the more detailed flowchart that represents that step

Is there an easier way to do this, other than adding all the hyperlinks
manually?

Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks,
Keith

Visio has VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) included. You could write some
script/code to insert such behavior automatically. You could probably get
something rough and useful without much coding at all. The trick is, of
course, knowing how to do it...

If you're interested, try back here for coding advice. But if you're using
Visio 2003, you can start with the Macro Recorder for coding examples.

I'd give a shape a custom property that matches the name of the page to
which it needs to link. Then the code just needs to look at all shapes and
all pages and set up links for pairs that match.
