Documentation of process flow documents

Question

Hello,

I've been using Visio for some time now, mainly creating process-flow diagrams.  I've always documented them with a supporting, independant Word document, detailing each of the corresponding process flow's steps.  It would be great if there was a solution that exists which would allow me to document each step of a process flow within the diagram itself (maybe using Comments associated with each shape), and automatically generate the supporting Word document, organised by Process Number (i.e. 1.0; 2.0; 2.1; 2.2; 2.3; 3.0; etc.)?

I'm using Visio 2013.

Thanks,

Larry

Answer 1

I've always preferred to hyperlink the shape into the associated document at the appropriate bookmark.

I really don't think there is any way to automate that.
