Default Add a button to the hyperlink dialog in Visio to choose the frame

I use Visio, and have done for many years, to create flowcharts with
hyperlinks to working instructions.

These are then converted to HTML/Web pages.

I then use the Visio diagrams and HTML files within a frame and the
hyperlinks open working instructions within a second frame. I also open
other documents in other frames, so need to specify more than one frame as a
target on a single flowchart.

I have been able to work around having no "Frame" selection button on the
hyperlink by putting:
"Target=wi
at the end of the hyperlink address.

This no longer works in Visio 2003 as the parsing of the text has been
changed from leaving it as typed and putting quotes around it, to converting
it into strings with %20 instead of spaces, etc.

As I no longer have this workaround, I need a method to be able to select
the frame of my choice from any hyperlink within Visio.

Can anyone help.

Perhaps you can run some sort of GREP operation -- textual search and
replace on multiple files, after Visio is done with the export.

I've done this sort of thing using Visual Basic code - manipulated Visio's
output html files to make the web page more to my liking.

Also, you can specify different templates to use in the Publish... settings.
I don't know how far this will get you. I'm not an html expert, but I get
by...

Hope this helps,
