Hi everyone!

So I'm still working on my cheesy site. I am placing big white ?boxing? behind most of my text. So what I do is type out what I want & then use the Shapes Tool, click on the (rounded) rectangle tool, and draw a big rectangle & arrange it so it is placed behind all text & images. You can see what I'm talking about at my site - moneyathomeguide.com. But the prob is, I want the corners to be rounded but they aren't! They are all pointy LOL! How can I change the corners to a more rounded look?

Thanks again!

With the Object Properties you can change the size of the radius.

after you create the shape, you should see a dialog box to the right thats for "Object Properties". If you don't see the box, click on the rectangle shape, then go to "Tools" menu and select "Object Properties".
You will see four input boxes with width, height, angle and the bottom one is for rounding corners. It shows a rounded corner with an arrow in it. By putting numbers in that input box, you will change the corners to rounded. The higher the number, the bigger the curve in corner. After inputting a number, click on rectangle and corners should change. I think inputting 20 makes a nice rounded corner, but you could use and number.
