How to duplicate a page without losing the formats of objects ?

[Martin]

I'am searching how to duplicate a page in visio 2002. I
use copy/paste but I lost the format of objects. Is there
a solution to copy exactly the same page with the format
for each object ?

I do mine in VBA.

a.) create a blank tgt page
b.) change the format of the tgt page to that of the one I want to copy
c.) with both documents open (brute force, no elegance here)
selectall the shapes on the source page
group the selection
copy to the clipboard
paste to the target page.

it appears to work fairly well
