    I am using InDesign to create a template for designing refrigerator magnets. I would like to include a rectangular guide with rounded corners to represent the eventual cutting line. I would rather not use an ordinary rectangle frame. Is there a way to do this in InDesign?

    You can just select your rectangle graphic/text box. Then go to “Object” then “Corner Options.” From there you can select rounded corners.

    Or, select the box, go to “Object” then scroll down to “Convert Shape” and select rounded rectangle.

    But–if you use the first option I gave you can control how round the corners are.

    Thank you, Dwayne. What I would really like to do is make a guide, not a functional graphic or text box. I only know how to make single vertical or horizontal line guides, and I would like a rectangular guide if that is a feature. Is this possible?

      Ahhh–I should have read your original post better.

      So far as I know the guide rules are only straight
