Click Buttons to open the Buttons pane, shown below.

From the pop-up menu at the top of the pane, choose Rounded.

The three button options at the top of the pop-up menu—Text, Bullets, and Shapes—
add a graphical element to your buttons that in most cases appears only when the
button is highlighted. The four button options at the bottom of the pop-up menu
create buttons that have a label and a shape to which you can add an image or movie
clip.

4

Click one of the button shapes.

Try different button shapes until you find one that looks good on your menu. The icon
(the gray circle with a slash) at the top of the Buttons pane changes all selected
buttons to text-only buttons.

Most likely, when you apply a shape, the buttons on your menu will overlap. You’ll fix
that in step 6 below.

5

With your buttons still selected, press Command (x)-I again to open the Button Info
window.

Use the controls in the Button Info window to make other creative decisions:

 Use the Thumbnail slider to change the size of the button shape.
 Use the label pop-up menu to change where the button label appears in relation to

its shape.

Select a category of
button shapes using
this pop-up menu.

Click this icon to change

a button to text only.
