Hey BB,

You do this with what is called "cross-sheet references". They will look
something like this:

Prop.OnA = Pages[Page-2]!Sheet.4!Prop.OnB

Sheet.4 will be the Name-ID of the "other shape" on the "other page". You
can find the Sheet.ID via Format > Special.

Have a look here for more on various formula types:
