Setting up 1st page as a facing page in initial view

I've got a 4 page document that I would like to have appear as two 2 page spreads. The problem is that the default facing page layout under the Initial View option in Document Properties always has the first page by itself on the right.
Does anyone know a way that I can force the initial view to appear as a 2 page spread?

Have you tried setting any of the other Two-Up options in the Initial View Page layout drop-down?

One other way would be to place the following Javascript as an Action in the first page properties:
this.layout = "TwoColumnLeft";
You can locate the first page properties by selecting the first page in your document in the Page Navigation pane, right-clicking on it, and selecting Page Properties. Then click the Actions tab and select "Run a Javascript" from the pull-down menu.

Another option is:

this.layout = "TwoPageLeft";
Which will display 2 pages facing but not contiguous facing. Which can be added as noted above or entered as document level script, if you are using the Professional version.
