Org chart: some hyperlinks don't work in full screen mode

[Blardo]

When I make an organizational chart with different pages and I link some
shapes to the other pages, in some cases those links don't work in full
screen mode, depending of the way the subordinates are arranged. I use the
'executive' shape as top, with 15 'manager' shapes attached to it.

Horizontal layout
-----------------
Center, align left, align right: all hyperlinks work fine

Stagger: I have two rows of shapes, the bottom row works fine, in the top
row only the middle shape works and only the left half of this shape.

Vertical layout
---------------
Align left: all links work, but only the right half of the shape has a link
Align right: all links work, but only the left half of the shape has a link

Side by side
------------
Single side: all links work
Single top: All links work, but in the left column, only the left half of
the shape has a link, in the right column, only the right side of the shape
has the link
Double side and double top: the hyperlink of the inner shapes doesn't work,
for the outer shapes, depending on their location, they work fine or only
half of the shape has the link.

I should add that I have this problem in full screen and normal view. When I
click I hyper link and hold the left button down, I can see the outline of
the hyperlinks and they are shifted to the right and down a good bit...
Solutions?

I see the original issue of the map links being smaller (shifted left or
right) than the objects on the page when viewed in Full Screen. In 2007,
this does not occur in Save As Web, from my testing - only in Full Screen.
Also, as far as I can see, the map doesn't cover nearby objects, it simply
fails to cover the total area of each shape.

The second concern - with the map completely being shifted - is not
something that I am seeing. We used to see this happen in Visio 2000,
however. In that version, the work around was to draw a rectangle the size
of the page, make it empty and with no line (so it disappears). That
forces the map to work on Save As Web. As far as I know, this no longer
occurs with 2003 / 2007.

I hope that helps both of you!
