Override document preferences when opening a file

Question

Hi all
Does anyone know if there is a way to override the document preferences with the InDesign preferences when opening a file (or even when a file is open).
The issue i have is that I have a whole load of documents where for some reason the superscript has been set to size 100% and not the standard 58.3% and i want to revert it back to standard without the need to open preferences -> advanced type and then resetting all the sizes.
I know that Quark (sorry to swear) had this ability where on file open it would warn of a preference mismatch and ask if document or Quark prefs should be used.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it will save me a lot of time.
thanks
Justin

The issue is that although InDesign will open up Quark documents, it doesn't appear to allow you to add them to a book.
Therefore, from what i can best make out, i would need to import the Quark doc into InDesign, save the file as an InDesign file, then import it into a book to run the script. We have few hundred single page Quark docs for a packaging job we are doing.
It seems quicker to open the file, and just change the superscript preference, its not an insurmountable issue, just more of an inconvenience and a bit of a waste of time.
Thanks for yours and everyones help on this as it will certainly use the script on InDesign projects should the same issue arise.
