In the v8.0 User Guide, there is a paragraph addressing this new functionality at the bottom of p.232. It states, You can resize and move text and graphic frames by changing their properties in JavaScript in OnRecordStart. Note, however, that this will only work for the FusionPro Producer (formerly known as FP Direct and FP Server products.) If used with the Designer or Creator (aka Desktop) tool, then the moved/resized frames will be highlighted in the output, and an error message is generated to indicate that the Producer software is required to create final output of moved frames. To use this new functionality you would use the OnRecordStart callback rule. Here is an example of code that could be used within it:var frame = FindTextFrame("TextFrame1"); //set this value to the name of the frame var NewHeight = 36000; //5 inches specified in hundreths of a point var NewWidth = 21600; //3 inches specified in hundreths of a point var NewX = 21600; //3 inches specified in hundreths of a point var NewY = 28800; //4 inches specified in hundreths of a point frame.height = NewHeight; frame.width = NewWidth; frame.x = NewX; frame.y = NewY;I have also attached a sample job that uses this code.

FusionPro briefly supported InDesign CS5.5, however the update to CS 5.5.1 stopped the plugin from working. With this in mind, we will be releasing a new FusionPro 7.2 patch in the near future that will support InDesign CS5.5.1. It is currently being tested, so it should be released shortly.
