Word - How do I change a corner radius for the rounded corner rectangle?

I have been asked to adjust the corner radius of my drawing in Microsoft
2003. Is it possible to do so?

For AutoShapes, no, the corner radius cannot be modified.

If it's a shape you drew using one of the line tools you can use the Edit
Points feature to manually adjust the corners but that's a very "iffy"
proposition at best. Each corner would have to be adjusted individually, so
consistency virtually impossible.

Bob, I don't know if that's different in Mac Word, but in WinWord 2003 you can
change the corner radius of the rounded rectangle AutoShape. There's a yellow
diamond "handle" near the upper left corner. Drag that away from the center of
the rectangle to make the corner radius smaller (sharper corners) or toward the
center to make the radius larger.

By golly you're absolutely right! I had forgotten about that & was only
looking for a setting in the Format AutoShape dialog - that's what doesn't
exist. My apologies to the OP.

Thanks for catching my miscue, Jay :-)

If the object was originally a "Rounded Rectangle" or similar then when the
object is selected a little yellow diamond appears new one corner. You can
drag this with the mouse to change the radius. There is no setting in the
dialog boxes to change this - say by point by point.
I have a vague recollection that it possible to control the radius by
numerical values but only with a macro. Maybe a macro guru will hop in here
with this solution.
Hope this helps
