Title: Visio 2010 Off-Page Reference connector Dialog Box
Post by: ragardner on February 06, 2014, 01:30:59 PM
When I drag the off-page reference connector from the Basic Flowchart shapes template to the drawing page, the dialog box does not appear, preventing me from entering page link info. I've searched high and low for a setting within the product and via google for advice, with no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, bob g

First of all check that Automation Events are enabled.
File -> Options -> Advanced -> General section.
If that's ok then look in the Addins section, see if any addins have been disabled.

It shouldn't get turned off, this is so often the reason for  certain functionality not working. I often wonder if there is some other action that turns this off.
