Hi Pierre:

Bob is referring to Object Properties, you are showing us the Object Style Designer. They both control frames but Object Properties controls the selected frame and Object Style Designer controls all frames assigned that style.

You said: Is it possible to use a tag to do it ? which makes me think you are asking how to create/assign an object style. Again, we use this feature when we want to control multiple frames at one time. If that's the goal, continue reading. If you just want to change the one frame you are showing us, use Graphics > Object Properties.

Object Style Designer is a little tricky—it doesn't conform to the other Designers so I find that I have to pay very close attention when I use it. Here's the workflow:

Create the style

Select a frame
Graphics > Object Style Designer
Set your Dimension properties
Add a style name in the text box at the bottom
Click on Save, then close

Assign the style

Select the frame again, if necessary
Click on the object style name in the Object Style catalog
Assign it to as many other frames as you like

Edit the style

Graphics > Object Style Designer
Select the style name from the bottom of the dialog box
Edit the dimensions
Click on Save or Update, it doesn't matter
You won't see the frames move until you close the dialog box

Thank you Barb, I understand why I did not succeeded to do it.

I am now in Graphic / "Object properties" and it works perfectly (thank you Bob) :

But I am happy to learn how to use the "Object style designer", and it worked also perfectly.

I think I will use both according to my needs.
