Off-page references after "Save as Web Page" (Visio 2003)

[Bart]

I am building a multiple-page web application in which it would be
very helpful if the off-page references would not only get me to the
right page, but also to the right part of a page. For example, the
"Search Pages" function will scroll to a word it has found and flash
an arrow next to it. Is there any way to apply the same code that
Search Pages uses to the regular off-page references, so that when the
new page opens, it scrolls to where the corresponding off-page
reference is on the new page? In my application, it is not good
enough to simply open the new page, the user needs to know which is
the link he came from.

I suspect that you could re-use the JavaScript functions provided with the
SaveAsWeb to achieve this, but you will have to write code to modify each
save as web action.

Bart,

When you create Visio hyperlinks, you can link not just to a page but to a
specific shape on the target page. Doing so requires that you know the
internal shape name of the target shape but once you know that, the links
work quite nicely.

To find the shape name: right-click the shape, then select Format/Special.
The shape name is in the "Name" field.

To create the hyperlink to the shape, select the shape and type CTRL+K to
open the Visio hyperlink dialog, then click the browse button next to
"sub-address". Use the dropdown to select the target page, then type the
shape name into the "Shape" field. Optionally, you can use the "Zoom" field
to specify the zoom level the user will see when they follow your hyperlink.

Hope this is useful...
