Visio custom properties as variables?
I have a visio diagram with lots of shapes that I have defined custom
properties for. I'm looking for a way to create a hyperlink that would reference one of these properties (variable) so that data only has to be entered in once and will make the hyperlink dynamic. Any ideas? Also, does anyone know how to tell a hyperlink to open in a new window? |

This sounds like what I'm trying to do, but I'm not that
much of an expert at visio.
