Question
Hi

Please can you tell me if I have a picture box with corner effects on and one
of the corners needs to be straight as in a square - how do I do this?

Thanks alot
Deborah

Answer
hey there,

what you need to do is make one box with the corner effects and one with a regular box. Make sure they are the same color. Lay the box over the top until its the way you like it. You can leave it at that, or you can make a shape. Go to window, pathfinder.  Use one of the square effects that on the top of the tool bar. (I'm not sure which one will work, one of them should) what this will do is make a shape out of the two shapes.
