Malcolm,

var myDocument = app.documents.add();
with(myDocument.documentPreferences){
pageHeight = "297mm";
pageWidth = "210mm";
pageOrientation = PageOrientation.portrait;
facingPages = false;
}
with(myDocument.textDefaults){
kerningMethod = "Metrics";
appliedFont = "Arial";
}
with(myDocument.pages.item(0)){
with(marginPreferences){
columnCount = 6;
columnGutter = "4.233mm";
bottom = "12.7mm";
left = "12.7mm";
right = "12.7mm";
top = "12.7mm";
}
with(textFrames.add()){
geometricBounds = ["12.7mm", "12.7mm", "284.3mm", "197.3mm"];
contents = "This is some text";
with(textFramePreferences){
textColumnCount = 6;
}
}
}
