Create Find Control on a Page

[Rona]

Need to create a control or button on the first page of a
document to search all text in a shape on all pages, and
it takes you there. The document will be saved as a web
page. I can just use the Find feature while in the
document in Visio. I would like to do that same thing
for the web page. I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Visio's |HTML export features allow you to include a search option in the
web page.

Goto File > SaveAsWeb... , then click the Publish... button. You'll get a
check box option for Search Pages.

This feature is in Visio 2003, and *I think* in Visio 2002, but I'm too lazy
to check.

Yep, you're too lazy Chris.
Search and Pan & Zoom window were introduced in Visio 2003.

Thanks guys! I am actually upgrading to 2003 - but not
yet. I actually may have found something, the User
Interface Commands - but not sure how to use them, the
VBA I have used with Access is different for these
commands. The name of the "ConstName"
is "visCmdEditFind" and the value is 1043 - would either
of you know the correct usage? I can put a command
button on the first page, and then put this code behind
it. Thanks!! (I tried the viewer, and it is nice & all,
but no search).

That's the command for showing the Find dialog. Invoke it using the
Application.DoCmd method. It is the equivalent of accessing the dialog from
the menu. Note that the UI commands simply pop up UI; they don't actually
perform the Find function.

Can you explain that in more depth? I am really new to
this, and don't quite understand the UI commands that
Visio uses. I am upgrading soon, and it may resolve
this issue anyway, but in the meantime, in this
organization chart there are 54 pages, almost 3000
people, my manager wants to be able to click on some sort
of "search" or "find", type a last name (or whole name)
and find that individual where ever he or she might be.
Thanks!

Can you simply use the Edit > Find... command? There are some check boxes
for customizing where you search. Shape Text and Custom Property will be
invaluable for your purposes.
