Since that's the way FM works, I don't see how there could be any option for a default view (unless you mean the default view size for a new document).

You are right, of course. My bad for not being sufficiently clear in my posting. Yes, the zoom size is saved with the document. What I'm getting sick of is having to repeatedly re-select 'fit window to page' every time I open a document. As this is in the same menu as the document zoom setting, I'd lumped it in together with the zoom setting in my mind.

Sure: it took me a long time to figure it out too, and yes it is ;-)

I guess what I was hoping for was that 'fit window to page' could somehow be set to be the default state of a document view. Maybe it cannot. As FrameMaker can now save workspaces, it would be nice if a saved workspace included view defaults, but maybe they don't quite fit the paradigm.
