Documents should open with spreads centered
When I open a document with two-page spreads, unless the zoom level is set to "fit in window," the document opens with the spreads off-center, usually to the left and down off the bottom edge. Then I have to manually drag them into place, or else choose "fit in window" and then size them down to whatever zoom level I'm working at. This is incredibly frustrating when I'm working on a book with many chapters which are frequently opened and closed. And contrary to some reports, InDesign doesn't "remember" the position when the file is next opened, unless that zoom level is "fit to window" (which is too large on a 30-inch monitor to be useful). There's no reason why InDesign can't remember position -- it's just making a lot of extra work and wasting the time of the user. Please improve InDesign to eliminate this bottleneck.

Please make it center the spreads. Please. I have to drag every layout/spread. Wastes a lot of time, especially when the drag (Space Bar) feature stops working, which it does frequently.
