Default 2/4 rounded corners?

I wan to create boxes (both text and image) that have the top right and
bottom left corners rounded; retaining sharp corners on the top left and
bottom right.
Can this be done in Publisher?

Autoshapes, create a rounded box, copy/paste special as a .wmf. Select the
image, Arrange, ungroup, yes, ungroup again, edit points, hold down control,
delete the corner points, adjust your lines.
You cannot do this with a text box, but you can use your new creation as a
border for a text box.

Copy your rounded box... Paste special as a Windows Metafile (wmf). Select the
pasted image, Arrange, ungroup, no, ungroup again...
