Interface for multiple hyperlinks

[Garden]

I have a multi-paged process map with multiple hyperlinks. All the portals
where the hyperlinks currently live are being changed. Is there some way to
create an interface so all the current hyperlinks can be replaced with the
new hyperlinks without individually changing them, ie to create a page that
has potentially a find/replace ability throughout the whole document.

Hi Garden,

Under File > Properties, there is a field for "Hyperlink base". While I
haven't tried this, I believe you can set a "hyperlink root", then make all
of the hyperlinks in your Visio document relative. Then, if the root moves,
you only have to change one item. If the "relativity" of your links change,
then this won't help.

So you might start out with somthing like this:

base = http://www.visioguy
shape link = /files/docA.vsd
shape link = /files/docB.vsd

then change base to: http://www.wanderkind.com/visio

The shape links are relative links and would still point to /files/docA.vsd
and /files/docB.vsd.
