Connector shapes change after inserting hyperlinks and saving vsd-file

[Peter.Matthis]

Hello everybody,

After inserting hyperlinks to a connector shape (i.e. arrow between two
boxes) and saving the vsd-file
the connectors change (arrows get doubled and lines get arrows).
Very strange behaviour.
Any idea, how to avoid this "feature"? I use Visio 2003 SP2.

Thanks

Peter

I've tested your case on a new drawing making two new rectangle, and
connected them with a dynamic connecotor, and inserted a hyper link to the
connector to yahoo.com., and saved this new drwing and reopened.
But nothing strange happened.

I found the explanation. In my page layout a shadow was defined. Visio
inserts shadows to (at least some) connectors with hyperlinks when the
file is saved.
Strange behaviour, but I can disable shadows in the page layout and
bypass the problem.
