Off-page connectors vs hyperlinks   
What's the difference in how the "linking" in an off-page connector
shape is set up as compared to a shape that has had a hyperlink added
to it?

Can I add the 2-way linking that is built into the off-page connector
to another shape -- such as the Predefined process shape?

The off-page connector shape is paried with another off-page connector
on another page. They can be set up so that the text is synchronized
between the two and double-clicking on either one will cause a jump to
the other one.

I would like to make the Predefined Process shape behave like that.
How would I go about doing that, if it's even possible?

I am trying to create a set of top-down flowcharts. The highest level
would be just 5-6 "parent" shapes with hyperlinks to a more detailed
flowchart for that process. If there is a better way to accomplish
that, I would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks

PS: What are the microsoft.public.visio.developer.xxx newsgroups for?
Would one of them be a better place to post this question?

Thanks

Re: Off-page connectors vs hyperlinks   
You can add the behavior to your shape. I just copied a formula in a cell of 
the off-page connector shape...you can too:

.. Open the ShapeSheet for your custom shape.
.. Find the Events section
.. In the EventDrop section, add this formula: RUNADDONWARGS("OPC","/CMD=1")

that should get you going.

Hope this helps,
