This is a newbie kind of question.
I'm just trying to dab into Object Styles but I have not found the expected InDesign documentation with regards to this feature? Sorry for the French UI but this what I'm using :
All I want is to "store" the width and height of an existing picture frame to apply to other picture frames in my page. But as soon as I apply the style to any of the frames I'm trying to change the size of, the placed image gets "resized", proportionaly? I don't want the scale of the contained images to change. All I want to do is to change the size of the picture frames themselves.
But I guess this is not a job for Object styles?
I know how to do this without using Object Styles. I was just curious to find out whether Object styles coule do the job easier.
Thank you in advance for you kind help and please excuse my ignorance.

Watched a video on YouTube and tried to turn off the "Fitting options" to no avail.
One thing weird I notice is that, everytime I double-click on the style name to edit it, all its options are turned back on?
Even though I unchecked them all (Except the one regarding Size) originally. I'm on Windows and this could be a known bug? I'm not v20 yet.
But here is what I found. While experimenting with applying the styles to objects, I noticed that "None" having a little "+" next to its name?
I tried "resetting" the None style and then apply my custom object style and it worked!!! By golly.,
What do you have in Frame Fitting Options:
Believe it not, I had "Nothing" -- it was all grayed out :
Somehow, as you can see in the screen capture, I have a lot of tabs "checked"?
Even if I uncheck them all, except Size, the next I try to edit the Style again, they are all checked again!!
....
I wish I could "better" understand how Object styles worked but Adobe's documentation is less than minimal.
