Hyperlink a visio object to a section of a Word Document.

[George]

I am using Visio 2003 and Word 2003 and would like to have a hyperlink
within Visio which would open a document to a specific section.

for example at some point in a flow chart in Visio I would have a
procedure box saying complete Disaster Recovery Procedure Section
3.2.2.

I know how to have it open the Word document, but only at the
beginning not at section 3.2.2

Is this possible without much scripting??

Thanks

the easy way is to put a bookmark in the document and use it as the 'sub'
identifier.

Thanks Ed, I know how to add bookmarks to the Word document, but
within Visio how do I set it as a 'sub' identifier? When I create a
hyperlink in Visio it asks me for the address and the subaddress of
the item being hyperlinked. Once I enter the address and pick on the
subaddress browse button I get a message indicating that you can only
browse named objects within Visio. I guess since the diagram does not
have named objects I cannot select them???

Thanks

George

as an experiment
create word doc. first page type abc, add page break, type def, add bookmark
named def, save document
create visio diagram. add rectangle, select rectangle insert hyperlink,
browse to where you saved word doc, select document (under office types), on
second line enter def, save hyper link.
select they hyper link (on my system it opened the word doc to the point
where the bookmark was.
