Hyperlinks don't work with Save as Web Page

[Marilyn J]

I've used Insert-Hyperlink to add hyperlinks to various shapes like buttons,
using the browse button the sub-address line to specify a different page in
my diagram. Within Visio I can hover over the buttons and see the link, and
follow it. When I do a Save as Web Page, the operation appears to complete
successfully but the shapes don't show that they have a hyperlink attached to
them.

If I change the output from VML to something like JPG, the images have the
correct hot spots/hyperlinks, so I know Visio knows about them. But for some
reason they don't show up when saved as a web page.

I'm using Visio 2007 Trial.

Any ideas?

Are you using Internet Explorer to view the web page? What version?

I am using IE 6. But I believe my colleague is using IE7 and experiencing the
same thing.

Thanks,

Turns out my colleague is using IE7 and they're working for him. Any reason
they don't work with IE6? I'm not quite ready to upgrade.

Thanks,
Marilyn

I'm not sure if it's an IE6 or 7 thing, it could be machine or file
specific or IE settings, like Run Active Content from My Computer under the
Advanced tab in Internet Options. Does it happen on new Visio files? Do you
have the latest Windows Updates for IE6? Latest updates for 2007? (SP1)

I'd suggest going to IE7 for the latest and greatest (security enhancments
and new features) but I'm sure you have your reasons for staying on IE6. I
won't get pushy.
