Modifying the shape of frames
In this section, you'll use various features that allow you to create nonrectangular frames.
To begin, you'll subtract the area of one shape from another. After that, you'll create a
polygon-shaped frame, and then you'll add rounded corners to a frame.
Working with compound shapes
You can change the shape of an existing frame by adding other shapes to or subtracting
other shapes from its area. The shape of a frame can also be changed, even if the frame
already contains text or graphics. Now you'll subtract a shape from the green background
on page 3 to create a white background for the article at the bottom of the page.
