Maybe I'm missing something here....
In a Layout window, if you "double-click" on a frame which contains a Map
window, the dialog box that appears contains a place to type in the
exact scale you want. Its accuracy depends upon having selected the
correct paper size, but A4 was a paper-size choice in my "Page Setup".
Hope this helps
