Embedding a JPEG in a screen tip

[Frank Hamelly]

is there a way to do this? I'm creating process flow diagrams for
accounting transactions and I would like to be able to embed images
captured via Snag-It into the flow chart steps such that when a user
hovers their cursor over the step, the image pops up for viewing.

I know I can hyperlink the .jpg image to the shape but this requires a
click to open the image. It would be great if it could appear via
mouse hover.

Also, I've saved some Visio flow charts as Web pages. This works
great to give users who don't have Visio the ability to view the flows
as HTML documents. However, I've found that IE 7.0 doesn't recognize
the image hyperlinks as IE 6.0 does. Has anyone else run into this
and if so, what's the fix?

I'm using Visio Pro 2003.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Well, you can't get the tooltip in Visio to include an image, but you could
do it in an enhanced version of the SaveToWeb, see:
