Banner with Curved Edges

[Guest]

I'm trying create a simple banner (26x0.50 cm) with curved edges, I've tried using the curve feature in autoshapes/lines but I can't make it look right.

How can something so simple be so hard to do, any help please.

On the Drawing toolbar, under Autoshapes | Stars and Banners, you might
find a suitable pre-defined shape. It seems to be that if a banner is
52 times wider than it is tall, then it isn't going to have much "curve"
to it. Not to mention the banner will be awfully hard to read at 0.5 cm
tall.

I've tried that, I only want the top two corners curved.

Thanks anyway.

The top two corners? I'm having a hard time visualizing such a banner. Are
you saying you want a rounded rectangle with just two of the corners
rounded? Or that you want a curve just on the top side (more like a plaque)?
If the latter, you will find such a shape (like the letter D) in the
Flowchart section of AutoShapes (you'd need to rotate it).
