I have set up a slide master with a rounded rectangle framing the title and
the main text area, based on the standard autoshape. The frame around the
main text has very large curves at the corners, in scale with the stretched
autoshape. I want to reduce the radius of these curves so that they match
those on the title block.

Which version of PowerPoint are you using? In 2003, when I draw a rounded
rectangle autoshape and select it, in addition to the standard handles on
the sides and corners, there is a gold diamond. The gold-diamond handle
adjusts the radius of the curves.

D'oh....Amazing what you can see when you look. It was there all the time.
My only defence is that none of the help or online help oferred any
information on the keyword "Radius". Thanks

FYI: It's known as the adjustment handle.
