I created various flowcharts of processes with the latest visio of a small, complex company (not done yet, but there will be approximately 8 visio files, each with 3-6 sheets).

I am currently looking for a way to present the final result, my idea is to save those files as a website (VML). The problem however is, that I want one single file: therefore my question, how can I merge those files?

I tried to use my very limited html knowledge, the site didn't open anymore. I tried to use "Microsoft Expression Web 4" and just copied 2 test files in there, but it was not usable. My goal is to have on the left side contents, which are linked to the actual visio drawings (think: visio file1 - sheets1.1-1.5; visio file2 - sheets2.1-2.3,...)

Thanks a lot for any help (or other ideas), I am going crazy over this!

  • I copied the code from both files into one and saved it as newfile.htm, I also edited the code within expression web, as it seemed the easiest solution for someone with little knowledge like me. – visio_user Mar 01 '19 at 15:17

How much easier would it be to merge the drawings in Visio itself, before exporting to HTML. Just open the files side-by-side and drag the pages from one document to the other. You may need to press the control key to avoid moving the shapes instead of copying them.

  • Thanks a lot!! I guess it is much easier to change the html code to create 'chapters', rather than merging single files... Do you also have a suggestion for connecting/storing dicuments that are related to processes? – visio_user Mar 15 '19 at 21:11
  • What do you mean by "connecting/storing documents"? and why specially "processes? – y4cine Mar 16 '19 at 11:12
  • I am creating BPMN flow charts and on a page there are multiple tasks, gateways etc, some of them use documents which i want to connect accordingly (eg a bill is being processed, i want to show an example of the bill as PDF or image) – visio_user Mar 17 '19 at 12:08
