URL hyperlinks to shapes.
I use Visio 2007 standard to create flows, and then save them as web pages.
in many of the shapes, I add hyperlinks to external files. After the HTML pages are created (using "Save as Web Page..."), I click on one of the hyperlinked shapes and display the file. Some files open in new browser windows, others open in the same browser window. As far as I can tell, the Excel files open in a new browser, Word files open in the existing browser window. How can I make it so that ALL files accessed via hyperlink open in a new browser? I can find no options in the Visio application and the Microsoft online help is worthless.

Just an idea: is it a setting in your browser based on mime type? Sorry don't

Checked all of the Internet Options in the browser (our company uses IE 6.0),
I could not find anything that speified what to open. I did check the HTML coding that Visio created, and the target for the Excel files is "_blank" (which opens a new browser window)... The HTML that links to Word files has no target specification and that causes the link to open in the existing window. What tells Visio to specify a target when saving files as a Web Page (HTML file)? "Laserray" wrote: Just an idea: is it a setting in your browser based on mime type?

Hello Jamie,
Hyperlinks in Visio have a 'New Window' property. Have a look in the ShapeSheet, in your Visio file, at the shapes with the problem links and check the NewWindow cell. You might want to read through this link if you've not come across the ShapeSheet befo http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/v...or-starte.html Let me know how you get on.

John, that was the answer. I've also found that your website has been
helpful when looking at my "wish list" of things that I would like to do with the Visio file/Web pages. Many Thanks!
