Peter Sohn Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I have not found a way to edit the corners of a text frame in Affinity Publisher. It works at the picture frames, but also there I find the functionality still expandable (similar to Adobe InDesign). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you can do is to first create a picture frame and edit the corners in a way you need it. Then right click on it and select 'Convert to curves'. Finally select from the menu 'Layer > Convert to Text Frame'. The drawback from this method is that you can not modify the cornes anymore as you can do in a picture frame at any time. d. PS: BTW, since you are new to the forum. You may not have noticed it, this is the bug report section. A question like this would be better posted in the 'Discussion and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher' forum. It just helps to keep track of topics Roland Dicke 1 Affinity Designer 1 & 2 | Affinity Photo 1 & 2 | Affinity Publisher 1 & 2 Affinity Designer 2 for iPad | Affinity Photo 2 for iPad | Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad Windows 11 64-bit - Core i7 - 16GB - Intel HD Graphics 4600 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M iPad pro 9.7" + Apple Pencil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think there is a better and simpler method… Draw a rounded rectangle. Change to Text Frame tool and click on the rounded rectangle. Done. Note: Corners remain editable using the rounded rectangle tool.

Thank you! I think it is a little funny to call a tool 'Rounded Rectangle Tool' if it is possible to draw all kinds of corners that are not round, though d.

Michail Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Nevertheless, a way to do this directly on the text frame would be better. But I guess that doesn't belong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRose Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You could create a rounded rectangle text frame and save it as an asset. Or create different kinds as assets. I've recently started using the Assets panel in Designer & found it extremely useful. Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
