Too dumb to create rounded squares

[Schneidermeister@adobeforums.com]

Greetings from Germany!
I just bought Creative Suite Prem. (german version) I'm trying to create a rounded square (my english is awful, I hope you know what I mean) and I can't find a window where to say what radius the corners exactly should have.

Choose the Rounded Rectangle tool (hidden under the Rectangle tool). Hold down the Option key when you click the tool on the page to see the Rounded Rectangle dialog. Here you can set the corner radius.

In CS, you don't need to hold the option key when you click on the artboard. Just
click and the rounded rectangle dialog will appear. You can also adjust the corners'
roundness interactively by using the arrow keys on your keyboard as you drag the
tool across your artboard: Up key to reduce roundness, Down key to increase it.
Left and Right keys take you to maximum and minimum roundness in one press.

Thank you!

Just followed your instructions and it worked! But - how can I change the radius afterwards?

Be patient with Old Europe...;-)

Effect>Convert Shape>Rounded Rectangle then after ward go to the Appearance Palette and click on the the effect icon in the palette it will bring the dialog box back and you can change the radius at will!

Can't believe how fast the answers are posted.

You made my day!
