columnCount question

Question

What does the property app.documents[0].marginPreferences.columnCount refer to?

It's valid but changing the value doesn't change the display of anything I can see.

It's not the number of columns that display on thepage. That property is

app.activeDocument.pages[0].marginPreferences.columnCount

Thanks for helping me understand the DOM ...

@Rick – you can use that property to pre-define the column count for new master spreads.

Example:

app.documents[0].marginPreferences.columnCount = 4;
app.documents[0].masterSpreads.add();

The added master spread should have 4 columns.
