You can deselect the Make all settings the same option to change the corner values independently. All four corners are changing, but you can also click the word Corner here to see the Corner Options dialog box. In the Properties panel on the right, if you need the corner radius values to be an exact value or consistent across shapes you can enter a value. You can also adjust options for the rounded corners. If you ever need to remove the rounded corners you can drag any of these yellow anchors all the way back to a corner. Drag the yellow corner to the left to round the corners a little. Move the pointer over a yellow corner and a tooltip with instructions will appear. With the shape still selected click the yellow box on the right side here to begin adjusting the corners. Finally, you'll round the corners of the shape.
To move the frame into position, select the Selection tool in the Tools panel and drag the frame so it's roughly centered on the text here. The shape is sent behind the next object in the stacking order which is the text. With the shape selected click the Arrange button in the Quick Actions section of the Properties panel and choose Send Backward. You can arrange content to change its stacking order on the page. Now this frame needs to be behind the text. In the Properties panel click the down arrow to remove the stroke making sure the stroke weight is set to 0 pt. Frames drawn with the Shape tools have a stroke by default. Notice that the stroke or border has a color and also a stroke weight or size. You could then press Escape to hide the colors. Make sure you can see the default color swatches by selecting the Swatches option and select the color to apply it. So, click the Fill color in the Properties panel. Now you add a fill color since frames created with these tools have no fill by default. Press Return or Enter to accept the change. Change the value to 3.3 then click the H to select the Height value and type in 1.6. This way of selecting a value works for almost all of your fields. To change the width, click the W to select the value in the Width field. Now if you need to resize a frame to a specific size, with the frame selected in the Properties panel to the right you'll see the properties for it including its position relative to the upper left corner of the document, its size and a lot more. When the frame is roughly this size release the mouse. As with any frame if you press the Shift key while drawing you constrain the proportions, so the width and height are the same. So, starting here press and drag to create a frame. You'll create a frame of the color that will go behind this text. Select the Rectangle tool and come out into the page. If you create a frame and later change your mind about how you want to use it in other words add text or graphic, you can always add text or graphic to it. These tools are great for creating unassigned frames or frames that are also graphic design elements like a color box behind text that improves readability.
Now to see the different types of shapes you can create in the Tools panel on the left, press and hold down on the Rectangle tool. You can open his practice file from the downloadable practice files for this tutorial if you want to follow along. In this video you'll create a frame using the Frame tools, round the corners and also apply a color fill. Aside from holding graphics and text, frames can act as graphic elements. Frames in InDesign are an essential part of page layout.
