Visio Hyperlinks - Hyperlink address too long

[spovolny]

Hi -
I'm trying to add a hyperlink to some shapes in Visio, but when I
enter the address in the Address field, it is too long for the number
of characters allowed, and so it truncates the end of my address, thus
causing an error when I try to link...is there any way to make a shape
in Visio a "clickable link", so that when I click on the shape it
automatically links to an address? Or does anyone know how to solve
this problem? Thanks alot,
Steve

If your address has ExtraInfo, such as asp query strings, then you should be
able to use th ExtraInfo cell in the ShapeSheet.
Anyhow, have you tried using the ShapeSheet rather than the Hyperlinks
diakog?

Hi David -
No, I've actually never run across the ShapeSheet...I'll do a bit of
research into how it works though. Thanks for the suggestion.
