Is it possible to stop an action part way through and wait for the user to input a variiable.

For example, could the action call up the image size dialogue box and pause with a message requesting the user to input a value for the width of the image, and then resume when the new value has been entered?

Yes two ways If its a step in the Action you want to control turn on the step's dialog check the box in front of the step.  If you want to e stop the action so  you can do several thing manually. Insert a stop message the action will stop there do  you want but not an other action when you done click on play to continue the action.
