For instance, say I want to paste multiple pages from Visio into Powerpoint (or Word, etc.) and I don't want to do one page at a time? (I used to be able to do this in older versions using Ctrl or Alt or something). How do I select multiple pages at once in Visio 2010?

I think if you do the Save As Web with the non-fancy, IE-only features, it might not have the frames, but I'm not sure. Also, under the Publish button in the save dialog, you can specify custom templates, but I've never experimented with that. John Goldsmith at VisualSignals has been doing a lot of investigation and tweaking of Visio's Save As Web features. I've posted an article that highlights his work here: <a href="http://www.visguy.com/2008/09/29/improving-visios-save-as-web-feature/" rel="nofollow">Improving Visio’s Save As Web Feature</a>. He's probably added new articles since I wrote this, so follow the links to his site and have a look around! - Chris Hi Frank,

Find <a href="http://www.visguy.com/2009/07/15/whats-my-shapes-id/" rel="nofollow">the id of the target shape</a> to which you want to jump 2. Note the target page name 3. Select your source shape 4. Go to: Window > Show ShapeSheet 5. Find the Events section 6. In the EventDblClick cell, enter this formula: =HYPERLINK("","Page-2/sheet.1","zoom=150",0,0) You will have to substitute the page name, id, and zoom level, of course, but this should do what you want! Hi Dave,

You can do this via the ShapeSheet.

1. Find the id of the target shape to which you want to jump
2. Note the target page name
3. Select your source shape
4. Go to: Window > Show ShapeSheet
5. Find the Events section
6. In the EventDblClick cell, enter this formula:

=HYPERLINK(“”,”Page-2/sheet.1″,”zoom=150″,0,0)

You will have to substitute the page name, id, and zoom level, of course, but this should do what you want!

I was able to create this hyperlink and perform this action when I right click on the hyperlink, but I can't figure out how to format the hyperlinks so that I can double click and go directly to the shape. When I right click on the hyperlink and follow: Format-->Behavior-->Double Click, it only allows me to double click to the other page, but not the specific shape. How do I do this?

I've called Microsoft and the young man who answered said he is not familiar with the software!!! Anyway, Visio 2007 will not change the page orientation. I select the print setup tab in page set up dialog box and then click the setup button. There I choose landscape radio button and click OK. If I click the setup button again, the radio button is back to portrait. So I am only able to print portrait. What do you think? Thanks Hello,
