Version added

4.0

Remarks

Every page and master contains a tree of Shape objects. Constants representing shape types are prefixed with visType and are declared by the Visio type library in VisShapeTypes.

In the tree of shapes of a master or page, there is exactly one shape of type visTypePage. This shape is always the root shape in the tree, and the PageSheet property returns this shape.

The page sheet contains important settings for the page or master such as its size and scale. It also contains the Layers section that defines the layers for that page or master.

An alternative way to obtain a page's page shape is to use the following macro:

Sub PagePageSheet_Example()

    Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
    Dim vsoShapes As Visio.Shapes
    Dim vsoPage As Visio.Page
    Set vsoPage = ActivePage
    Set vsoShapes = vsoPage.Shapes
    Set vsoShape = vsoShapes("ThePage")

End Sub  

Similarly, assuming that there is at least one shape on the page, you can use the following macro to get a master's page shape:

Sub MasterPageSheet_Example()

    Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
    Dim vsoShapes As Visio.Shapes
    Dim vsoMaster As Visio.Master
    Set vsoMaster = ActiveDocument.Masters.Item(1)
    Set vsoShapes = vsoMaster.Shapes
    Set vsoShape = vsoShapes("ThePage")

End Sub
