Adobe InDesign CS3

Adding Corner Effects

Adobe InDesign CS3 allows you to round, inset, or add other effects to the corners of objects (e.g., images or text frames). Applying a corner effect to an object will change all of the corners of the object. If an object's corner point is moved, the effect automatically changes the angles.

1. From the Toolbox, select the Selection Tool

2. Select an object in which you want to apply corner effects

3. From the Object menu, select Corner Options...
   The Corner Options dialog box appears.
   
   

4. From the Effect pull-down list, select a corner effect
   NOTES:
   The following table shows all of the standard corner effects with a size of 2p0 (i.e., 2 picas and 0 points).
   One pica is approximately 1/6 of an inch

5. In the Size text box, type a size for the corner effect
   NOTE: The size indicates the distance from the corner that the effect extends

   NOTE: A checkmark appears in the box when it is selected.
