Are these UI Specs or Wireframes?

The best thing you can do with Visio 2003  is heavily annotate the Visio
wires with labels and descriptions - it will allow you to export all the
tabs as separate html pages (with a toc), and convert the wires to images -
but the quality is low, and doesn't allow for anything that actually shows
interaction. It does not generate nor create click-able wireframes (a
wireframe prototype) . - but most people that use Visio this way export the
wires as images, dump them into powerpoint, and fake the interaction there
(using the bottom "Comments" section, and pop-up comment windows to explain
actual interaction.

That is the cheap way if your company already has visio and office.
