Creating a mixture of round and square corners
We can play around with the corner radius of individual corners on our rectangles to achieve some nice effects. Let's say we want to create a shape with 3 round corners and one straight corner at the top right. The following steps show us how to do it:
1. In the Design view, draw out a new rectangle or select an existing one on the page.
2. Select round corners for the top-left, bottom-right and bottom-left corners on the Control Panel. Click on the top right corner on the Control Panel so a straight corner icon appears.
3. Increase the rounding radius to
50to get a dramatic rounding effect on the three round corners; this will make the straight corner stand out more.
We can change back from round to straight on any of the four corners and the effect will be apparent immediately.
