Default when saved as web page, how to get back from external links?

Hi
I'm creating work-flowcharts in visio 2002 with activities. The visio
document is approx 10 pages with a "drill-down" structure where a high-level
activity is linked to a page showing detailed activities.

For each detailed activity I've included a hyperlink to another HTML
document which gives a textual description of the task.

At first glance this works fine, but the problem is that when clicking
"back" on the web-browser one ALWAYS ands up at first page of the visio
document.

The "logical" thing would be that the back-button returned to the last page
displayed, i.e. the page with the detailed activity.

I think this is caused by the framehandling in the generated html/js, and
there seems to be a bug in VISO, because the attributes "Frame" and
"NewWindow" in the hyperlink section of the shapesheet does not affect the
generated code at all.

Suggestions?

You could change the hypelinks in your Visio diagram so that they open your
text pages in a new window. Therefore you just close the text window,
rather than use the back button, and the diagram will be where you left it.
To do this, you need to change the NewWindow cell in the Hyperlinks section
of the shapes shapesheet to TRUE or 1.
You could do this manually, or write a little VBA to do it through out your
document.

Note to Microsoft : Why isn't this available in the UI?
