This is exactly what I have set up here (except I didn't know about the pasteboard part - we have ours at 8" for some reason so it always looks full screen).  In case anyone wants a bigger script:

-- This script is designed to quickly resize the current C7 window to something that displays to your current monitor size.
-- Name it with a space in front so it'll float to the top. Place it in Creator's 'MultiAd Creator Add-Ons' -> 'Script Menu Folder' 
-- and place an alias in 'MultiAd Creator Add-Ons' -> 'Attached Scripts'.

using terms from application "MultiAd Creator Pro"
         
         on run
                 if exists document 1 then
                         --tell application "MultiAd Creator Pro"
                         set zoomed of layout window 1 of document 1 to true
                         --end tell
                 else
                         display dialog "This script requires an open document." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" with icon stop
                 end if
         end run
         
         on opened theDoc -- doc has actually been opened
                 --tell application "MultiAd Creator Pro"
                 set zoomed of layout window 1 of document 1 to true
                 --end tell
         end opened
         
end using terms from
