Re: Hyperlink to open a new window when published to web

[David Parker]

Strangely. the setting is available but nod revealed in the user interface -

1. Create your hyperlinks
2. Open the ShapeSheet
3. Navigate to the Hyperlinks section
4. Edit the NewWindow cell to TRUE
5. Close the ShapeSheet window

David
Thank you - that works (except for pages from the same Visio document).
There is just one piece of my puzzle missing now :-) Can i force the 'new window' that the hyperlink opens to be the same each time e.g. I have a small 'description' browser window open and clicking the hyperlink on a shape in the main (visio generated) window causes the description window to change. Perhaps the 'frame' or 'extraInfo' properties can help?

This is an old question, but maybe this will help.

I found that in the hyperlink if you add the following
"target="_blank
at the end of the hyperlink it will also open in a new window. You may be
able to change _blank to something else. I don't know enough about HTML to
answer you question, but this may point you in the right direction.

I have a document that I am publishing as a web page, but even though
NewWindow = "TRUE" in the shapesheet, my hyperlink is not opening in a new
window. I am using Visio 2003--can anyone help me figure out why?

I'd insert the target=_blank if I had any idea where to do it.

Thanks in advance!
