Hyperlink does not show as hand symbol

In Visio 2003, when I create a hyperlink it does not show as hand symbol in a
Web page. A message repeating the name of the shape and the text "Click to
follow hyperlink" is displayed. lWeb pages that I made 3 years ago, also from
Visio 2003, do show the hand. When I open the old drawings and save them, the
hand symbol is replaced with the name of the shape and the "Click to follow
hyperlink" message.
How can I "get the hand back"?
Best regards

Hi

Thanks a lot, for the info, but could someone please release a patch/update
to fix the issue, As we use 2003 coz the relative hyper link feature doesn't
work in Visio 2007.

Thanks
Tej
