Hope this helps. Cari Hi Laura,

I have been using indesign for years and only just found out about the scripts palette - thanks. Is there a way I can make this script part of an object style, so that I can apply a style to a square edged rectangle - rather than enter new parameters for each individual object? Hi Cari,

That would reset the rectangle that was amended by running the script to its original shape. Hope this helps. Cari Hi Drew,

Is there a way to undo or remove the corner effects at a later time? Let's say I add a bevel effect but later want to change it to a rounded corner. Do I have to start over, or can I modify the effect/script? Thanks! These are fantastic! Is there a way to undo or remove the corner effects at a later time?
