currently 600 , would like it to read 100% but it wont accept a % why..?

I don't know if you can change the width to a percentage within the CUSTOMVARS. I couldn't find a way to do it.
To get round this, and to make my window work at 100% rather than ACTSTDWIDTH=600 I did the following (make sure you ALWAYS backup your templates before changing them though in case you need to revert back to the original):

Run Notepad in Windows, and open the Act_BrochurePrimary and Act_Primary templates in your Site1 folder (and probably Act_Checkout etc.). Find where it says WIDTH="CUSTOMVAR:ACTSTDWIDTH" (use Ctrl-F for the find facility) and change this to WIDTH="100%". Save the template and use the preview pane in Actinic to see if this has the desired effect.

this works fine paul thanks

would still like to know if you can somehow put a % in a customvar for future referene though..

In my 7.0.4 it accepts "100%" OK.

You may have this set to type Integer in Advanced / Custom Properties. If so change the type to Text and all should be fine.
