A bookmark in Easy Link is the same as a bookmark in your book.  You use a bookmark to indicate where you want to go to.  In other words, clicking a bookmark will show the Item where the bookmark has been defined.

Easy Link takes bookmarks one more step ahead to treat every hyperlink as bookmark as well:  You can click the Go To button to go to a bookmark or the Show button to show the hyperlink.

Steps below show you how to use both explicitly defined bookmarks and hyperlinks to go to different location of your drawing.

1. Using an Explicitly Defined Bookmark:

  1. Go to Visio.  Click page tab Flowchart Overview.
