Off-page referance not working in Visio viewer

[BarryT]

About 50% of the off page references that i create do not work in VISIO
Viewer however they all work correctly in the full version. Seems to be a
strange issue as i have done them all the same way???

I had posted this previously but got no responce, please help !

Thanks,

Barry

Barry what version of Visio was used to create the drawing? I am sure you
know that the viewer is an active-X add-on which works with Internet
Explorer. With that said what version of IE and the viewer is being used?
When you hover over the off page reference do you see a hyperlink icon and
some text indicating the page? Is there a message displayed when you click on
the off page reference or does nothing happen?

Thanks for your responce James,

I figured it out eventually, there was a couple of issues, all of which i
have found fixes for. One issue was the / is an illegal character in visio
viewer but not in visio itself (which in itself is odd) and the other was the
for some reason some pages were set in the background and were required to be
changed to foreground to allow for the hyperlinks to work correctly.

IE7 also has it's own set of issues when saving to HTML and the fix for that
can be found at
