Help with "Paste in Place" on multi-page document..

Question

We have a multi page document that I'd like to "Paste in Place" to a specified page (not "Spread") I can't seem to find how to act upon a specific PAGE in the document. ie: Paste in Place into page 5.. Along that line, I also need to be able to get margins, etc.. from said page for scripting the placement of the pasted item once it's placed.

In other words, *IS* there any way to treat a selected page as if it were a simple single page document through scripting, and I would like it to update the display to show the selected page of the multi-page document to visually see that the paste operation was executed correctly.

I'm scripting in VBScript, so pseudo code examples or VBScript would be prefered.

Let me clarify...1. I have a multi page document open (blank pages)2. I open a source (single page document) and select/copy what I need from it.3. I CLOSE the single page document, leaving only the multi-page document open4. This is where I need to do a Paste In Place to Page XX of the multi-page document and then Move the item if needed.I don't see how object.duplicate would work across multiple documents and don't want to have a "scratch page" to paste into, then do the move.Is there a way to paste-in-place the contents of the clipboard to page xx in the multi-page document?Then, how do I tell indesign to SHOW that 2 page layout to visually inspect the operation?(I know I'm making sound harder than it should be.. lol)
