visio 2007 - hyperlinks in web export

[John Matrix]

Hello all.

I'm making a complex website map (including database calls and session
items). To make it viewable by fellow developpers, i plan to share it as a
web page.
Since the map is rather complex, i'm using a idef0 layout style, so there
are many pages.

I'd like to know how to link a shape (well, actually a shape group) to a page.

I havent found any option related to that feature so far. The double click
event wont be applied to the web export, AFAIK. The ShapeSheet doesnt have
any option related to the feature i'd like to use.

TIA

Hello John,

To insert a link to a page try the following (assumes you have a two page
document):

1) Select your shape on page 1 and click Ctrl+K to open the Hyperlinks
dialog

2) Click the Browse button to the right of the sub address field to open the
Hyperlink dialog

3) Select the page you want to link to and click OK twice to return to the
drawing.

The linked shape will then emerge after you saved as a web page with the
correct link (note zoom level is ignored in Save As Web).

If you're only dealing with a limited number of devs you might also want to
consider the Visio Viewer:

and also David Parker's visViewer:

Hope that helps.

Best regards

John
