Default Hyperlinking between Visio Doc in html format

I'm a bit desperate for help regarding this issue. The issue is that i want
to be able to hyperlink from a visio file saved as html to another multipage
visio file saved as html file. The problem is that i don't seem to be able to
hyperlink directly to another page than the first page. I only got a response
here (28th of July) that told me that i would be able to do it with
parameters (detailed response is here below). Now fine i thought and tested
it rather thoroughly but did find a way (used for example ?page=2 behind it
and so on) and i even called in a very experienced programmer that couldn't
find it out either. What i need is a more detailed description on this
solution. I've seen replies from other ppl on other forums that are also
haveing the same problem that i'm. And thanks for the earlier reply even if
it didn't solve my problem...

Can anyone help me?

Earlier response:
"In Visio 2003, if you output the other Visio drawings to html and place them
on a webserver, you can then link directly to the subpages using parameters.
In the master Visio drawing, within the hyperlink dialog - browse and link
to anchors in the other html output. See the hyperlinks dialog online help
for information.

Hi Siggiari,

Try the following. In this example, you have two Visio drawings, and you
have a hyperlink on a shape in drawing 1 to navigate to a target page in the
drawing 2 html output.

Create the hyperlink on the shape using the Visio hyperlink dialog, with the
following format:

...\drawing2.htm?page=Page-1

Output both drawings as HTML into the same local folder. Copy the folder, or
the contents of the folder, up to a web server. (NOTE: If you do a save as
web directly to the web folder using UNC, you'll need to close the browser
that appears and reload it using HTTP).

Basically, a relative path is used to load the start page of drawing2 and a
parameter is used to tell that page to navigate to the target page. This
will only work on a true HTTP web server (since parameters are used).

For information on linking to views of Visio webpages using Query String
parameters, see

I hope this helps to resolve the issue for you.
