Save Visio as HTML but keep multiple hyperlinks that are referenc.

[Mark]

When Visio drawings are saved as HTML format, objects with multiple
hyperlinks only display the "first" hyperlink in the list.
How are multiple hyperlinks displayed in HTML formats?

Actually, you get a pop-up that lists the mutlple hyperlinks. At least this
is the case with Visio 2002/2003.

With the latest version of Internet Explorer, this causes "code-security
blah blah!" problems, so you have to "allow scripts" by clicking on that
yellow bar at the top of the page.

Thanks for the answer Chris...however, in a HUGE corporation it's hard to get
the latest VISIO.
I'm stuck at 2000.

I see the "list" in visio as I'm using it, but it only saves the "first"
reference made to any hyperlink in the shape to which I've attached the
links.

I was expecting it to act the same as it did in the Visio editor, but it
didn't. I got only the first link defined.

Any more you can tell me? We have IE greater than I believe
6.0.xxx.xxx...etc.

PS...I've started a revolution...since I showed someone how to even make
hyperlinks in Visio...the place is going crazy and everyone is doing it. I
heard one comment, "Why didn't they tell us we could do this?"....I chuckled
under my breath....I was the only one who spent the time to investigate
hyperlinks like most all of the other MS office products.

Do a search on "Visio Viewer". It's free and has more power than just the
html export. Plus, you don't have to export anything!

This should work on any Visio file, so you 2000'ers shouldn't have any
problems sharing and viewing each other's diagrams.

There are issues with running the viewer and Visio on the same machine. It
can be done no problem, but there's something about installation order or
what-not that I can't remember. (Ie: if you have Visio on your machine, why
would you use the viewer!?) I'm sure there are install notes....
