Local Indicator map with fixed scale

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Create Mapbook
2.Create a Local Indicator, fixed scale 1:250000
3. Export to pdf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the local indicator to have the fixed scale, insetead I have different 
scale and when I manually change it, it changes back to the scale

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ArcGis 9.3 on Windows XP 32bit

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi Luca, this is a known deficiency and the only known workaround is to use a 
global indicator. It stems from the fact that mapbook uses the core "Zoom to 
Selected" function in Arcmap which itself ignores the locked scale setting of 
the data frame.
