Microsoft Visio: MS-Explorer back button functionality

Anonymous

Hello all.

Let's say that I have a Visio document with 3 pages, named foo and bar, and yoyo.

Now, I have a shape in foo that has been assigned a hyperlink to page bar, and a shape in page yoyo that has a link to page bar too.

I hit Ctrl+LMB while the pointer is on the shape in page foo, and viola, I am in the page bar.

Is there a way for me to use Visio to back to page foo, and not to page yoyo, w/o me having to remember how I got there?

It is basically the equivalent of hitting the "Back" button in any web browser.

Alternatively, if there is a way to publish in SharePoint, and have the functionality there, it is also acceptable.

Many thanks!

    The issue is that the hyperlink was not designed to work that way, however. There is another way that might help. The off-page-connector has much of the same features and can be operated on programmatically. You might check this out (from David Parkers site)
