How is this used?

I noticed this on the bottom of the Library panel. I believe it's supposed to work with cropping. But I can't make it do anything or engage it. Can someone let me know anything?

Have you checked the Help for the Library panel?

Scaling—choose from Stretch, Max fit or Min fit. Changes how elements of the macro are scaled when applied to a document that is a different size. Stretch will contort the macro elements, whereas Max/Min fit will scale them gracefully and maintain the aspect ratio.

Alignment—change how the macro elements are aligned relative to the document's bounds. For example, if the macro places a watermark image, you could choose Bottom right to place it at the bottom right of the current document.

Okay. I guess these options are to be selected before the macro is started? Just guessing without a computer in front of me. Thanks.

Yes. If they're appropriate for the macro you want to run, you would select them and then run the macro.

Not getting it to do anything with all the options and then running my macro. Which is a simple macro to crop and resize a doc.

I don't think there are any simple macros to crop, as cropping would involve positioning the crop frame, which is a manual operation. But there are users who are more expertise than I who may have some ideas.

For resizing they are also no simple macros, but there are some posted in the Resources forum that might suit your needs.

You might also consider using a batch Job to do the resizing.
