Indesign - Rounded Corners

[2Sticky]

In InDesign I can drawer a box and then round the corners going object > Corner options.. etc

However this will round all four corners, is there a way to make it round 2? Or just on, or is the only way to round all of them and then put a box in the corner to cover up the ones I don't want rounded?

If your familiar with illustrator and the pen tool for creating paths, then you can use the same tool in ID to create a frame of whatever shape you choose, be it 3 right angles and a curve or an oddly shaped curved splat

Under the Window menu, go to Automation/Scripts
In the Scripts palette, select Application/Samples/JavaScript/CornerEffects.jsx

Under the Pattern pull-down menu, choose whatever combination of corners you need. Note that the first corner is top-right, and then moves counter-clockwise. It's a little finicky, but easier than the alternative. Hopefully this will be enhanced in CS4.

Awesome! I had always hoped there was something like this somewhere in the program. Thanks, brad!

Or...you could just draw the rounded corner box, and place another box over it and pathfinder the corners you don't want rounded.

Quick, easy & painless.

That was my point

All sound good ways, shall give them a go, thanks.

^^ Another valid way to do it. I switched to the javascript method so I could numerically size the box first, then quickly add corners second. Came in handy when creating multiple boxes to match separate, specifically sized regions.
