How do I insert a hyperlink into a custom property field in Visio.

[tinkertoy]

Hello! I have an OrgChart created with the wizard, and manually update it.
Within the custom properties, I would like to put a hyperlink that links to a
photograph (in a database) based on another custom property in the text box.
After the OrgChart is updated, then I "post" it as a webpage that is saved as
a webpage from Visio. I tired a test hyperlink just for http://www.msn.com,
and it doesn't show as a hyperlink. Any ideas?

Visio custom properties do not support hyperlinks. You would need to create
actual hyperlinks on the Visio shapes in order for Save as Web to end up
with hyperlinks.
