Hello,
I have used "rounded rectangle" shapes with text inside in my CV. I would like to know if there is a way to fix the curvature degree of the corners so that it does not depend on the dimensions of the shape?
So far, I have been adjusting the rounding "manually" using the small yellow square in the corner of the shape, but this is not precise and the rounding changes every time I add or remove a line in the text, so I have to readjust the rounding each time. I would like the rounding to stay the same for all the shapes in my CV, even though these shapes have different dimensions.
Does anyone have an idea, please?

Yes: Enter everything that needs to be entered, and only at the end deal with the rounding ...

Yes, that would be a solution if there were a final version of my CV. But I am a student, I am doing a lot of internships, and my CV is in constant evolution; I still plan to add experiences over time. So after each experience, I have to redo the work, and it's not very precise to do it manually (I am quite a perfectionist ^^).

When a recruiter receives a lot of resumes that are more or less similar in appearance and all very square, receiving one with a bit more originality and less square can make them more inclined to read it. Even though it's the content that ultimately matters, the first impression is also important.
But you’re right, there are other ways to be original without using rounded shapes. -
No!
If I took the liberty of giving you this advice, it’s because I’ve received hundreds of CVs over my 40 years of management, and the corners being square or rounded have never had the slightest impact on my judgment, I can guarantee you that! You can sleep easy…
And if by chance a recruiter sorted job applications based on the nature of the frames and their corners, you should steer clear of them and refuse their job offers! -

Little UP...
Please do not mark it as resolved when it's not the case...
Although the problem is no longer present for this specific case, we still don't have any solutions. I am looking for it for editing a set of technical documents, and I cannot remove the rounding because it is part of a defined graphic charter that cannot be modified as it has existed for a long time...
So if someone has found the solution, I am interested.
Oh, and for your information, we have also dealt with quite a few resumes here, and the little details like rounded corners make their little impression...
It shouldn't be said that it's useless; it's just a personal opinion, it depends on the person who has the resume in hand in the end...-
Hello Guillaume,
indeed, the problem persists and a direct solution would also be very helpful to me, especially in PowerPoint, but the principle is the same: how to specify the degree of rounded corners so that they are the same everywhere, and how to fix them so that they do not change when resizing the shape?
Unfortunately, the answer we can expect is that Word and PowerPoint are not drawing software...

Hello Guillaume.
JéremCCM asked a question in October 2013.
He reported being satisfied in January 2014. His discussion has therefore been marked as resolved.
If you have a problem in December 2014, you create a discussion to expose it to us.

Hello Raymond,
just my two cents :-)
Only the original posters should be able to mark things as Resolved. But it's true that they rarely come back... This term should only be used when a solution has actually been provided to the question asked.
There is no "expiration date" on discussion threads. So, if we shouldn't dig up a request, it should be marked as Closed. You could read but not intervene.
On the other hand, I often see remarks like "the question has already been asked, do a search, etc."
Every day, questions asked a few years ago come back either with thanks from new readers or with additional responses. Personally, I find that rather awesome and I'm a bit sorry to see "Resolved" on questions that are not. At the risk of repeating myself, I prefer discussions marked as "Closed".
But it won't ruin our day!

Hello C-Claire.
I understand your arguments even better since I shared them at the beginning (2007-2008).
But in practice, I noticed that we waste a lot of time reading discussions that we realize, at the end of the consultation, have deteriorated, deviated from the initial question, or remained unresolved without the initiator providing the clarifications we requested ...
Such discussions remaining open for several months are nothing but waste and "hollow teeth" in the mass of messages that are alive and require a response.
Moreover, most non-registered requesters do not know how to mark their discussion as "Resolved"!
Finally, it is tedious to find discussions that contain several dozen messages, of which more than 25% are labeled "Thank you; you are my savior"; "I've been looking for this for a long time"; "Yeah, really amazing"; "This helped me, 3 years later" ... which brings absolutely nothing to the debate, even if some might find it great.
Last observation: even if a discussion is marked as "Resolved," it is still entirely possible:
- to consult it,
- to add a comment or an answer,
- to change it back to "Unresolved" (if one has the desired status).
But if the discussion has been closed by a moderator, no further intervention is possible!
Best regards.
