Any suggestions?

If you select the items you want to copy to another page and go to Shape>Group, then copy and paste them, this will work.
But it jacks up the intelligence in D-Tools realted to connections and reporting, meaning that D-Tools does not know these items are on the page or in the project, because once grouped, the collection of shapes is now one shape.
You can still draw a sweet schematic, but wire connection reports do not work and neither does reporting with filter by specific schematic pages.
A better way...
Consider using layer properties, where you do one layout, then develop the schematic using one signal type, select those wire shapes and create a new layer for that signal type and assign those wire shapes to that new layer.
The layers can then be turned on and off, so you turn off the layer you do not want to see, and create another new layer by signal type and so on.
