Rounded rectangle caption shapes - corner radius
Hi all,
Client has asked us to change rectangle caption shapes to rounded corner rectangles.
When I do this, either by using the Format>Change Shape feature, or by creating a new caption shape... I CANNOT ADJUST the CORNER RADIUS of the captions (callouts).
The strange thing is, if my associate does the same thing - his corner radius is TOO BIG.
When I do this, my corner radius is TOO SMALL.
We'd like to make the corner radius JUST RIGHT.
I hope you can appreciate the Goldilocks nature of our problem.
How can we adjust this default corner radius on rounded rectangle caption shapes? Something must affect this setting because of the difference in default between myself and my associate.
Try replicating yourself - can you adjust rounded corner radius on rounded rectangle caption shapes? If not - what size are yours?
Please help before the 3 bears get home and eat me.

Adjusting the corner radius by inputting a number will help drastically esp when you use it multiple times in several slides and want everything to be consistent. This is a huge impact for users.
Yes, please. I would like to see this change made as well.
I would also like controls similar to what is available in Illustrator.
Need this feature please
Adding my vote for this feature request! Thanks.
I've added my vote.
Sadly, I'm discovering that feature requests like these go unchanged for YEARS so I'm not holding my breath.
Guys, please address this.
Hi Diarmaid!
I love your zeal for this feature and appreciate the valuable context you outlined. Thanks for taking the time to send in a Feature Request, too!
We are tracking requests to lock and set the corner radius and will take all of this into consideration as we prioritize and plan for future enhancements. Though this one isn't on the immediate roadmap, I'll keep documenting the impact and update you if we make a change that helps.
As always, thank you for contributing!
I keep trying to reply to say thank you, but it keeps disappearing!
Hello Rory, you are most welcome!

Hi,
This issue was doing my head in so I started to play with it. I have been able to get a reasonably reliable way to set the curve of the text boxes (not tried on captions though). My text boxes were to appear on multiple layers and slides at the same position so consistency was very much needed.
- Go to grid and guides and UNCHECK the boxes at Snapping i.e. switch off both snap to options, this lets you have more control over the placement of the guides.
- Set the guide at the point where you want the yellow curve control icon to sit.
- I was able to click the yellow icon and then the guideline and it would move to sit at the right point.
- Sometimes it seemed to work on a double click.
- If it isn't either of those then it was looking for something to align with either way I was able to get a consistent curve shape across many, many text boxes.
Hope this works for you.
Cheers
PS: You have to be zoomed in super close!!
Thanks for the tips, Regina! This is super helpful.
One more vote to get better precision control over rounded corners over here! Even if the ability to set the radius isn't coming, perhaps the ability to select multiple items and globally edit the corner radius using the yellow square? That would be an improvement at least...
