How do I make an off-page reference go to a particular shape?

[Pelagius]

When I double-click the "off-page reference" shape, Visio sends me to the
correct page and selects the corresponding off-page reference shape, but I
have to scroll to find it. Is there a way to alter the add-on which is run
by double-clicking an off-page reference so that when the new page is opened
it is centered on the corresponding off-page reference. According to the
Shape Sheet the add-on is "OPC."

After you create the off-page reference:

1. Select the shape and hit Ctrl+K.
2. Click the Browse... button next to the Sub-address field.
3. Select a zoom, such as 200% in the Zoom drop-down.
4. For Shape, type the sheet-id of the target shape.
To get the sheet-id, go to target shape, select it, then choose
Format > Special.
You'll see an "ID" at the very top of the dialog. Use this id, plus
the syntax: Sheet.ID
to set the Shape field. For instance: Sheet.14.

The full sub-address will end up looking like this: "Page-1/sheet.14"
when you're done.

Sort of a pain in the butt, but you'll get good at it after a while.

Thank you, Chris

This solution works well within Visio. Now, is there any way to get the
hyperlinks to open the new page centered on the target shape on the web site
created by the "Save as Web page. . ." option on the File menu? It seems
that visio discards all my hard work making hyperlinks go to particular
shapes when I convert from .vsd to .htm.
