If you or any other person viewing the Web page has a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, some of the publishing options for a Microsoft Office Visio Web page may not display. In this case, the Web page is saved with page links in the left frame to ensure that people viewing the drawing view all of the pages in the drawing.

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 (Save as Web Page dialog box, General tab) when you save the drawing as a Web page. However, don't clear the Go to Page option if your Web page drawing has multiple pages.

Detail information (custom properties) for shapes is supported for VML, JPG, GIF, and PNG output formats in Internet Explorer 5.0 and later. The Details control is not available for SVG output.

Details on a shape only appear when the shape contains custom properties. If a shape doesn't have custom property information available, the Details table will not display any information about the shape.

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 for SVG, JPG, GIF, and PNG output formats.

If you select to display a report from a drawing 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.

Because of the limited screen space in the Pocket PC window, Details, Go to Page, Search Pages, and Pan and Zoom display options are not displayed. The links to pages in the Web page drawing appear as numbers in the left frame to support navigation to other pages.

When you save a drawing as a Web page, you can assign the page a style sheet with color scheme styles that match the color schemes available in Visio. The styles affect the appearance of the left navigation frame and reports.

If you are saving a drawing that has a particular color scheme applied to it, you can match that scheme by choosing a style sheet of the same name under Style sheet on the Advanced tab in the Save as Web Page dialog box.

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.

While you can insert hyperlinks on pages in Visio drawings, hyperlinks on pages are not currently supported in Visio Web pages. If you know how to edit HTML code, you can manually add code to create hyperlinks on pages in the Web page version of the drawing.

When you create a hyperlink to a page from a shape, do not include the name of the current drawing file in the Address field of the Hyperlinks dialog box. Make sure that you only refer to the page in the Sub-address field for the hyperlink.

Multiple hyperlinks are supported in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. Multiple hyperlinks appear in a context menu when a shape with multiple hyperlinks is clicked. For browsers or output formats such as SVG that don't support multiple hyperlink display, the default hyperlink is displayed when the shape is clicked. If no default hyperlink is set, the first hyperlink in the list is displayed.

If you are not getting the output results you want when you save a Web page using SVG as the output format, you might try saving the drawing file in SVG format and then embedding the resulting SVG file in an HTML page or viewing the SVG file in a browser that has SVG support. (Saving a Visio file in SVG format also generates a log file you can view to detect what occurred during the export process.)

The following SVG features are not currently supported when you save a Web page in SVG format:

• Scripting
• Animation
• Interactivity other than hyperlinks
• XSLT stylesheets
• Color profiles
• CSS cascading rules; external stylesheets are supported for importing only
• Rotated glyphs in text elements
• Conditional processing
• Masking and compositing
• Anchors referring to URI fragments or SVG views
• Most metadata (except as defined for Visio extensions to the SVG schema)

When you save a drawing that has multiple pages as a Web page in SVG format, a separate SVG file is created for each page. These files are saved in the folder that contains all of the files used for the Web page.
