Visio web page on SharePoint

K

Karen A.

I have a multi-page org chart saved in Visio. I want to save it as a web
page to post on a SharePoint site. I saved the document as a web page in the
required document library (which I located in My Network Places).

When I click on the Visio page in the document library, it opens in the same
window. Then, if I use the back button to try to get back to the document
library, the library comes up, but the Visio web page disappears from the
documents. This only happens if I use the back button to navigate from the
org chart back to the library. If I click on the library again, the Visio
page reappears.

I would ideally like the web page to open in a new window, which would
hopefully get rid of the disappearing issue and would also make it more
convenient to return to the document library if someone has clicked through
multiple pages. Does anyone know how to make a Visio web page open in a new
window from a SharePoint library? And, barring that, does anyone know how to
make the Visio page stop disappearing when someone navigates from the it to
the document library with the back button?

Thanks

I'm having exactly the same problem.. don't want resort to creating multiple
sharepoint pages for every visio page.

What I ended up eventually doing was putting a hyperlink at the top of each
page that would take you back to the home page of the SharePoint site (you
could also make one that would take you back to the document library). This
isn't the smoothest fix, and there are probably better solutions, but it was
workable.

For some reason, the chart stopped disappearing after a few days. Don't
know why.
