Jason,

What do you want to round?

If you want to round an image, you need to use a graphic program such as Photo Shop or GIMP. If you are trying to round the corners on background, there is a way, but I have to research where I placed that information.

Give us a little more information on what you want, and maybe someone can come up with a solution. If you have an example, a link might be helpful.

Hi Bill

Thanks for your reply.

I was trying to work out how i could use the shape tool in VSD but get the corners to be cureved instead of square.

I didn't know if there was a setting or sometjhing similar.

Thanks

If you draw enough circles & rectangles, you can make your own in VSD. haha

It's basically 4 circles in the corner and squares/rectangles filling in between. If you go that route, be sure to Group the pieces so they stay as one shape afterward. ;)

there's got to be an easier way. How large does the circles have to be in relation to the rectangle?

Hi Philip

thanks for your reply, but your suggestion is not using VSD. I followed your link but with minimal HTML knowlegde, I couldn't work out how to make this work.

Like Thanita, the first post whilst gets done what I was trying to achieve it's incrediablly time consuming, and so far I can get it to work as I want, but having a mouse over affect. VSD doesn't appear to let you make a mouse over affect on grouped items. That or I'm doing something wrong :-)

I know i should try and learn CSS, but at the moment I just dont have the time, so was looking to VSD for a quick fix

Cheers
