Can one -click to allow the Indesign screen to live in the middle, and the layout is enlarged to 80%(or other)?
80%amplified, the screen is in front of the sight. Close to the toolbar on the left.
In any state. One -click restore to 80%.

I only know that double -click the large mirror can enlarge the layout to 80%.
But the layout is not necessarily in the right position.

Thank you~

You mean you want 80% zoom and top-left corner of the page visible?

It is not necessarily 80%, but my computer is just 80%displayed for the screen.
Not big or small, it looks just right.

But what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Hi @dublove I have previously tried to create a script that gives control over the layout window's view but unfortunately Indesign's scripting API does not provide the functionality. 😞

 

Let me know if you find a solution!

Hello, great M1B.
It's amazing, it turns out that you have always existed.

Use script? It should be ok.
If the screen amplification multiple is 80%, the coordinate origin of the sitting angle is set to x = 0, y = 0.
If the X direction can be controlled, the position of the Y direction rolling bar is good.

Another thing,This is more practical. The above is just a good vision. If Adobe can see the best improvement:

Last time, the issue of alignment of leadership list. There is a little problem, please take a look.
It is the first position with a full -angle colon (:) alignment, The final script is invalid for the colon.
