How do I insert a page in Visio 2003 with same shape sheet as anot

[Segy]

I have a page with a complexe shape sheet. How do I create another page in
the same Visio document with the same shape sheet without having to rebuild
the entire shape sheet cell by cell?

You might save your drawing as xml and copy the pagesheet
data to other pages. I've tested as follows.
You might make any program to automate tiresome work.
1. Made a new drawing of 2 pages, 1st page has complexed shapesheet,
2nd has nothing new.
2. Save this drawing as xml, changed file expamsion into xml.
3. Opend this xml file with notepad.
4. Copyed the tag range of pagesheet of 1st page.
5. Pasted replacing the range of pagesheet.
6. Saved this xml file, change file expansion to vdx.
7. Opend this vdx file with Visio.
I found pagesheet of 1st page was copyed ti the 2nd page.

Segy,

Another odd method is to create a shape that references all the user- and
custom-property cells on the page.

Ie: [shape] User.X = ThePage!User.X
[shape] Prop.Y = ThePage!User.Y

When you copy this shape and paste it onto another page, the referenced
cells will be created in the new page, if they don't already exist.

This won't help you to change the values of cells that already exist,
though. So, for example, you can't use this method to change PageWidth,
PageHeight, or something in the page's Page Layout section.

Hope this makes sense!
