I want to place hundreds of images in an InDesign project, I need all those images to have the same width when I place them.

is there a way to do that?

EDIT

I tried this way:


place the first image and set its size.
copy this image and put it every where you want an image to be placed.
then select the image boxes and place your new images.


this way all new images will be placed in the same box width size. this is a solution but it will not be that practical and that way I have to do a two step process..

Given you want something simpler than you already have it might be easier to batch resize the images outside of InDesign.

Within InDesign you could use Empty Frames as the placeholders (which is what they are)



Then Place and select all of the images you wish to place:



Then actually place them by clicking on the frames:



Finally, select all images and do Fit Content Proportionally to Frame (or whatever Fitting you desire):



Results:



But again, since you've got hundreds of images it would probably be easier to batch resize them before placing.
