When you save a Microsoft Office Visio drawing as a Web page, you can include controls for navigating to pages, searching for shapes in the drawing, zooming in and out of the drawing, and viewing custom property information for shapes. These controls appear in a left frame in the Visio Web page.
Note The Details, Go to Page, Search Pages, and Pan and Zoom options are selected by default.
You can also publish any reports that exist for the drawing. When you save the Web page, they become pages in the Visio Web page file.

- On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.
- In the Save in list, open the folder where you want to save the file.

Display custom properties for shapes

- In the File name box, type a name for the Web page file.
- Click Publish.
- On the General tab, under Publishing options, select Details, and then click OK.
Notes
- People who view the Web page can see the custom properties for shapes by pressing CTRL and clicking shapes that have custom properties.
- This option is supported for VML, JPG, GIF, and PNG output formats in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and later. The Details control is not available in SVG output.
Display the Pan and Zoom control
- On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.
- In the Save in list, open the folder where you want to save the file.
- In the File name box, type a name for the Web page file.
- Click Publish.
- On the General tab, under Publishing options, select Pan and Zoom , and then click OK.
Note The Pan and Zoom control is supported for the VML output format in Internet Explorer 5.0 and later. The Pan and Zoom control is not available in SVG, JPG, GIF, and PNG output formats.
Publish reports
- On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.
- In the Save in list, open the folder where you want to save the file.
- In the File name box, type a name for the Web page file.
- Click Publish.
- On the General tab, under Publishing options, select Report: x, where x is the name of a report available for the drawing, and then click OK.
Each report that you select will be displayed in its own page in the HTML output for the drawing. Use Go to Page to navigate to report pages.
Note If you select a report as a publishing option when you save a Web page, Visio will attempt to generate that report. However, if no shapes in the drawing meet the requirements for the report query, the report can't be created. As a result, the Web page is created without the report.
Notes
- For best results in displaying all of these options in the left frame of the Web page, use VML as the output format and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
- Visio Save as Web Page output requires more than 256 colors on the system of the browser used to view the Web page. On systems with less than 256 colors, some colors may be displayed differently than the expected Web page output.
- If you don't want a left frame displayed with your Web page, clear the Details, Go to Page, Search Pages, and Pan and Zoom display options. However, don't clear the Go to Page option if your Web page drawing has multiple pages.
