Visio 2002 and truncating hyperlinks

[Peter Filias]

We're working on some fairly large network diagrams and we're linking
our routers to websites that have links like
blahblah.pl?router=router1, however, the links get cut off an
blahblah.pl.

I was going through the newsgroups and found that you can go into the
Shapesheet for each and every shape and manually add the
?router=router1 into the Address field. This is way too tedious. Why
can't UNCHECKING the Use Relative Links checkbox work? When I uncheck
it and hit okay and go back into the hyperlink editing window, the
button is checked and the URL gets truncated.

Does someone have a better solution for this?

The simplest solution is to put a space character into the "Hyperlink Base"
field in the document properties.
