DocPreset from Current Document

Hi, I have a related issue:

Dave Saunders said:

That's because you can't change the document preferences for the >margins
after you've created a document.




Is this true?? I'm setting up a template for a series of reports, and in the design process have decided to adjust the margins. I've changed them on all existing document pages and all master pages. The thing is I can't change them on the [none] master page (nor can I delete it). Is there any way to fix this problem without having to create a new document with the correct margins and copy everything over?? I don't want to risk leaving a master page in there that has the wrong margins, as the template will be used by many people and I can't guarantee they won't use it.

Thanks!

You can do it with a JavaScript, but I don't think it's possible in the UI:

aDoc = app.documents[0];
aDoc.marginPreferences.top = 2.5;
aDoc.marginPreferences.bottom = 6.3;
aDoc.marginPreferences.left = 1.415;
aDoc.marginPreferences.right = 2.375;

Since None is always a single page, I don't think you have to worry about the mapping of left and right on to facing pages. Obviously, you should replace my silly numbers with ones that make sense for you.
