Round same side corner rectangles in Powerpoint 2007 but not in Wo

[Dee]

I would like to add a "Round-same-side-corner" rectangle to a Word 2007
template as part of a Table of Contents (TOA) heading. The shape is availalbe
in Powerpoint 2007 but not in Word 2007.
1. Can anybody explain to me how I will be able to copy this shape to Word?
(when I copy it from Powerpoint diretly into Word, it seems to loose its
functionality)
2. Would it be possible to use a similar shape as a Heading background? or
3. Is there a way to draw this shape and add functionality to it?

Hi Dee,

It's one of several new shapes that came with the Office 2007 revised graphic engine. The engine is full implemented in Powerpoint
and Excel, only partially implemented in Word and Outlook, for some backwards compatibility issues. The additional shapes apear in
Insert=>Shape in Powerpoint in the gallery categories of 'rectangles', 'equation shapes' and 'Action Buttons'.

Those shapes are available in Word for inserted pictures or a Picture Content Control as frames/styles for the pictures, but they
won't have the yellow diamond shaping handles in Word.

As these shapes do exist within the core of the product it may be possible for one of the folks here to pull those additional shapes
into Word as Autoshapes using a macro.
