Help with deleting all shapes on a Page!

[TRV]

I am trying to clear a page with code which works fine if there are shapes on
the page that are selected. However the way I am doing this I am opening a
file and clearing a page that may have nothing on it. If I do this I get an
error.
How can I check or count if there are any shapes on a page?

Help please

Trick: as you delete shapes one by one the page shapes counter goes
down so counting from 1 to page.shapes.count can fail.

try
if page.shapes.count > 0 then
for counter = page.shapes.count downto 1
blah

for whatever language you use.
