I wanted to copy a schematic page from one design to another, is there ULP anyone has?

I'm not surprised.
For my explanation, the object is what you are copying, and target is what
you are copying to:
In V5, to copy one schematic to another simply Group the object schematic,
Cut, open the target schematic, and Paste. Again: Group, Cut, Paste. The
process is done with one instance of Eagle and you can only have one design
open at a time .
But... I am assuming that you also need to copy the PCB components along
with the schematic?
If so you should first run the renumber-sheet.ulp on the object schematic.
Start the designators at, say 200, so that those designators will not
overlap the designators of the target schematic. Save.
Close out the PCB. Then, Group, Cut, open the target schematic and Paste
just like the first example. Save.
Now go back to the object project and group the PCB, Cut. Now open the
target project, and close the schematic so only the target PCB is open.
Paste the object into it. Save.
Now from the target PCB (with the object having been pasted into it) you
should be able to open the target schematic and have everything be
consistent.
I hope I explained everything correctly.
If it sounds tricky, well, it must be done correctly or you will wind up
with a lot of inconsistencies. The component reference designators in the
two schematics must not be the same, that's why you use Renumber-Sheet.ulp
starting at a high number.
I should have explained that the lengthy process I detailed is only
necessary if you need to copy one design to another AND you have PCB layout
in the object design that you need to preserve.
