Sample code
The following sample code duplicates a page. Public Sub DuplicateActivePage Dim OriginalPage As Visio.Shape Dim DuplicatePage As Visio.Shape Dim ShapeDropX As Double Dim ShapeDropY As Double Set OriginalPage = ActivePage.PageSheet ActiveWindow.SelectAll 'Select everything on the first page...   ActiveWindow.Group '...then group it all...    ActiveWindow.Copy '... then copy it to the clipboard. ShapeDropX = ActiveWindow.Selection(1).Cells(&quot;PinX&quot;) 'Get the new Group's x position.

ShapeDropY = ActiveWindow.Selection(1).Cells(&quot;PinY&quot;) 'Get the new Group's y position. Set DuplicatePage = ActiveDocument.Pages.Add.PageSheet 'Create the new page. 'Set attributes of the new page to be the same as the original page. With DuplicatePage .Cells(&quot;PageWidth&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PageWidth&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PageScale&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PageScale&quot;) .Cells(&quot;ShdwOffsetX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;ShdwOffsetX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PageHeight&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PageHeight&quot;) .Cells(&quot;DrawingScale&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;DrawingScale&quot;) .Cells(&quot;ShdwOffsetY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;ShdwOffsetY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;DrawingSizeType&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;DrawingSizeType&quot;) .Cells(&quot;DrawingScaleType&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;DrawingScaleType&quot;) .Cells(&quot;InhibitSnap&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;InhibitSnap&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PlaceStyle&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PlaceStyle&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PlaceDepth&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PlaceDepth&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PlowCode&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PlowCode&quot;) .Cells(&quot;ResizePage&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;ResizePage&quot;) .Cells(&quot;DynamicsOff&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;DynamicsOff&quot;) .Cells(&quot;EnableGrid&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;EnableGrid&quot;) .Cells(&quot;CtrlAsInput&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;CtrlAsInput&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineAdjustFrom&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineAdjustFrom&quot;) .Cells(&quot;BlockSizeX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;BlockSizeX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;BlockSizeY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;BlockSizeY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;AvenueSizeX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;AvenueSizeX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;AvenueSizeY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;AvenueSizeY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;RouteStyle&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;RouteStyle&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PageLineJumpDirX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PageLineJumpDirX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;PageLineJumpDirY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;PageLineJumpDirY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineAdjustTo&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineAdjustTo&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineToNodeX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineToNodeX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineToNodeY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineToNodeY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineToLineX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineToLineX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineToLineY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineToLineY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineJumpFactorX&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineJumpFactorX&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineJumpFactorY&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineJumpFactorY&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineJumpCode&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineJumpCode&quot;) .Cells(&quot;LineJumpStyle&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;LineJumpStyle&quot;) .Cells(&quot;XRulerOrigin&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;XRulerOrigin&quot;) .Cells(&quot;YRulerOrigin&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;YRulerOrigin&quot;) .Cells(&quot;XRulerDensity&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;XRulerDensity&quot;) .Cells(&quot;YRulerDensity&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;YRulerDensity&quot;) .Cells(&quot;XGridOrigin&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;XGridOrigin&quot;) .Cells(&quot;YGridOrigin&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;YGridOrigin&quot;) .Cells(&quot;XGridDensity&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;XGridDensity&quot;) .Cells(&quot;YGridDensity&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;YGridDensity&quot;) .Cells(&quot;XGridSpacing&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;XGridSpacing&quot;) .Cells(&quot;YGridSpacing&quot;) = OriginalPage.Cells(&quot;YGridSpacing&quot;) End With ActivePage.Paste 'Paste the copied group from the Clipboard. ActiveWindow.Selection(1).Cells(&quot;PinX&quot;) = ShapeDropX 'Position the group. ActiveWindow.Selection(1).Cells(&quot;PinY&quot;) = ShapeDropY ActiveWindow.Selection(1).Ungroup 'Ungroup the group. ActiveWindow.Page = OriginalPage.ContainingPage.Name 'Go back to the original page...

ActiveWindow.SelectAll '...then select the group...   ActiveWindow.Selection(1).Ungroup '...and ungroup it...    ActiveWindow.DeselectAll ' and then deselect all of the shapes. MsgBox DuplicatePage.ContainingPage.Name & &quot; has been created.&quot; End Sub
