I don't know, maybe you don't. If you look at various generic scripts, several will begin with an existing document, record the units, switch to whatever units are needed for the various dimensions of the script and then at the end switch back to the original units. So make a one-page doc with your units, then run a script using haveDoc, etc, switching units as needed, make more pages as needed, then switch units back if needed. Plan B: make the doc with some arbitrary units, then either let the user switch units after the script runs, or give them a dialog to choose and switch for them. In the end, you may wish that this item of the preferences was accessible, but it's not. If that is some sort of show-stopper or upsets you a great deal, we're sorry. Greg
