how to crop round corners on images in publisher

Here it goes:

1. Create a rounded-corner box (go to Autoshapes in the menu on the lefthand side of the screen, select Basic Shapes, and then the oval rectangle, first on the second row)

2. Place it at the top of the space you want to enclose. Adjust its depth until the corners are of the radius you require.

3. Go to the format menu, pick 'format autoshape' and adjust its colour, point size etc; then go into the layout menu there and choose 'none' for the text-wrap

4. Copy it and place the duplicate at the foot of the space you want to enclose.

5. Draw lines of the same point size and colour (and also non-text-wrap) between the two boxes, one on the left and one on the right.

6. Create a rectangle inside the area to cover the horizontal lines you dont want to see. (fill with background colour, make it non-text-wrap, etc)

7. Create a text box with no line border and superimpose it on the area. Type in your words. There you are.

8. You can do this repeatedly and get all your boxes, whatever size, with the same radius rounded corners.

You can create a table normally then ungroup it. That converts it into a
collection of rectangles and lines. You can then select all of the rectangles
and use the Change Autoshape command (on the drawing toolbar in the PC version;
not sure where it is in which Mac PPT version) to convert the rectangles to
rounded corners.

You'd then want to delete the lines, most likely.

Having done this, you no longer have a table, of course. It's a collection of
rectangles with text in it.
