Hi:

I'm converting some scripts from Quark to InDesign (yeah!) and I'm running into a minor problem.

As this script builds templates, I want to be able to see the ad on the screen. In Quark, I used to issue the command:

		"set view scale of document 1 to fit page in window"

which reduced the scale of the document to fit on the screen.

I've tried a bunch of variations of:

		"set zoom percentage of active window to fit page"

to try to accomplish the same thing, but haven't had any luck. Can any scripting guru point out the error of my ways?

thanks
