You can add hyperlinks to your Microsoft Visio document in the same way you add them to any Microsoft Office document. Select the item you want to attach the hyperlink to (usually a shape in Visio) and either press CTRL + K or INSERT / HYPERLINK.
The hyperlink box will appear and you will enter the page or address you wish the link to be. If you are linking to an Internet site, be sure to include “http://” at the beginning of your hyperlink. Any information you enter in the DESCRIPTION box is what will appear on the screen when you hover over the shape attached to the hyperlink.
If you are in FULL SCREEN MODE, when you hover over a hyperlinked object, the pointer changes to a hand icon and you can left-click the object to follow the link.
If you are in NORMAL MODE, the pointer changes to an arrow with a hyperlink globe icon. To follow the link, you will need to right-click and choose the link from the shortcut menu.
Any links followed will appear in their own window.
