Copying page properties

[vojo]

OK...assuming I have some custom properties/scratch cells defined on the
page. Now assume I want to add another page (insert or copy). Is there a
simple way to have that copy/insert actually copy the custom/scratch info?

This may be similar to how one ensures (without manual intervention) a
legend shows up on each and every page.

I really dont want to get into VBA to do this. Maybe a macro but would
like to avoid that even. Any special.

BTW...what is driving this is the need to have an isometric grid (x=2mm,
y-1.15mm) that the density can be adjusted (has to use fix to get right
offset so using some controls to change density by change
xgridspacing/ygridspacing manually)
I have a shape with actions that I can drop on the page and take
control...its just kludgy to do.

When you add another page, any of the default cells on the currently active
page get copied over. If your active page has a PageWidth of 24 in, your
new page will have the same value.

Rows that you have added - such as User-defined or Shape Data - are not
automatically copied over. However, if you copy or drop a shape that
references these cells, Visio adds them on the fly. There is still the
problem of getting the proper value in them. You would need a macro or
other code to handle this.

There are several 3rd party utilities that perform page copy as well.
