Round Corners

[James]

I have searched high and low for an answer to this question and have had no
luck so I now turn to the NG:

Is there a way to round the corners of a square/rectangular textbox or
object? Currently I use CorelDraw to do it, export it as an image, and
import it into my publisher doc. This process is very clumsy can i just do
it in publisher?

Thanks,

James

Autoshapes has a rounded rectangle; Basic shapes, first shape, line 2.

Mary,

Thanks, I knew that one was there, I shouldve been more specific with my
question. That works great with rounding all for corners, but if i only want
to do one/two/three that wont work. I suppose I could just place a square of
the same color over it to get the right angle corner.

Don,

Not sure where you are refering to?

Copy, paste special as a .wmf. Ungroup, edit points.

sorry i dont understand what you meant could you please explain?

Create the rounded corner shape, copy/paste special as a .wmf, ungroup, select
the shape, right-click, edit points. There are different options, hold control
and click on a point, the point will delete. You can change a point to straight,
which is what you would want to do if you want a corner. It works a lot like
Corel, but a bit clunkier.
