Hyperlinks not working when copying drawing to Word

[John K]

Hi, I'm currently drawing flowcharts which contain hyperlinks (within the
shapes) to other websites. However, when I copy the flowchart to Word, the
hyperlinks do not work. Is there a way that the hyperlinks in a flowchart
will work when copied to Word? I'm using Visio 2007 and MS Office Word 2007.

The reason I'm copying to Word is that these flowcharts will be read by
numerous people and as most of them do not have Visio, they will be unable to
read a Visio file.

If anyone can answer this question or come up with another solution it would
be much appreciated.

Thanks
John

Unfortunately Word doesn't understand Visio hyperlinks. Office Outlook does
support the Visio Viewer natively so as an e-mail attachment they can be
viewed. There is also a free addon that allows them to be saved as either
pdf or xps, both of which have free viewers available.
