Select object by coordinates so I can modify the height of the box

How do I go about selecting a box on my page so I can modify the overall height? I need to move up the crop by 1/4 in from the bottom to allow for a postage barcode? I have over 10,000 records and the box in question is on my even pages--all the same, bleeding top to bottom. I would like to insert an action to select it and then to modify the height. I have a group of other actions that will run within the same action but this one alone has me stumped. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

You have to look at the Select by region action. And remember it can bet set to select overlapping or complete inside region.
And it can be combined with other selects like color etc. using the AND operator.

Jimmy,
Thank you for that reply. After selecting inside region AND fill color to select the box I want, what is the name of the command to use to physically change the dimensions or height of the box?

I found the scale selection function and that is doing the trick. Thank you for your help!
