Finding the Corners While InDesign's Tools palette only shows three built-in frame shape toolsRectangle, Ellipse and Polygonyou can actually easily create any of the other shapes QuarkXPress has to offer. The key is to select Corner Effects from the Object menu. The Corner Effects dialog box lets you apply five different preset corner effects to your path or frame. Table 15-1 shows how they match up with QuarkXPress' box tools.
