After you add a rectangle to your template, you can format the corners of the shape. Use the Shape property page to select the type of corners for your object and the degree of curvature for rounded corners.

Use the Corner Options dialog, which you can access by clicking the icon next to Corner Type on the Shape property page, for more advanced corner options, such as customizing each corner differently.

The following options are available:

• Corners are symmetric: Specifies that all of the corners have identical corner settings, including corner type and degree of curvature.

• Customize each corner individually: Specifies that you can customize each corner of the shape individually. To do this, select the corner that you want to customize in the diagram, and then select the corner type and width and height of the curvature. The following example shows a shape that has four custom corners.
