I would like to have Optical Margins as a default, if this is possible. I typeset trade books, and there are several standard elements besides body type (of course), figure captions, pull quotes, among others. I want to avoid having to scroll through the document setting Optical Margins for the extra elements.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help. This worked in a new document but not in a document
that I'd copied from another, emptied out, saved as idml, then saved as
indd. Oh well, I'll play around with it and see if I can get it to work in
a new text frame in an existing document.
Cheers,

You copied the story OMA setting over from the existing document. You can turn OMA on for all stories in a document via a script. This will set all the stories’ Optical Margin Size to 12pt:
var os = 12;
var s = app.documents.item(0).stories;
var i = s.length; while (i--) s[i].storyPreferences.opticalMarginAlignment = true, s[i].storyPreferences.opticalMarginSize = os;
