Text boxes - rounded corners
Or simply put a rounded rectangle around the text box.

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. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Aidan" wrote in message ...

Thanks for that! 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.

Thanks for that. I wanted to avoid getting a rounded rectangle - that means
inserting a text box into that and it gets messy.

Text boxes - rounded corners
If you use a rounded rectangle without adding text, convert to a .wmf, delete
the background, text will wrap. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ... Aidan wrote: Thanks for that.

Text boxes - rounded corners
Many years ago (almost 20?!) you could get a rounded corner on your text box
in Pagemaker. 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. "Aidan" wrote: Thanks for that! Isn't it amazing that we STILL cannot produce rounded corners! Such a simple concept!
