MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / June 2007Text boxes - rounded corners
Hi Does anyone know if Publsiher 2007 can do rounded corners on text boxes please? Serif Page Plus 11 can but........ Thanks AVB You can't change the shape of an existing text box, but you can right-click [just about] any AutoShape & choose Add Text from the contextual menu. IOW, you *can* "convert" an AutoShape to a text box. Additionally, if the text overflows you can link it to another AutoShape just like linking regular text boxes - just convert the destination shape before you attempt to link in the overflow. However, this isn't new in 2007. You could do it all in 2003 - perhaps even prior versions.

SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org If you use a rounded rectangle without adding text, convert to a .wmf, delete the background, text will wrap.

Isn't it amazing that we STILL cannot produce rounded corners! Such a simple concept! Too hard or too obvious for Microsoft! Thanks for the tip.

You could SPECIFY the RADIUS of the corner you wanted and apply it to a variety of border designs (just by "pulling" one text box.) If I recall, you could get angled corners on the border in a similar manner. M. > Thanks for that! Isn't it amazing that we STILL cannot produce rounded > corners! Such a simple concept!
