Hi snunicycler

I checked you image and can see what you mean about the corners.

I cant duplicate this and check it through but I think that the resolution for this will be to edit wrap points of the border of the image.

I have pulled some of the text below on how to do this from a previous answer I gave to another user but this is how it is done.

Using the 'Edit Wrap Points Tool'. This tool is on the Picture toolbar or you can get to it via the menu; Arrange > Text Wrapping > Edit Wrap Points. To do a bit of image editing you will most probably need to be on a higher zoom resolution of at least 200 to 400% (or maybe even 800%), then with the image selected click this button and the image outline will change to have a red broken line border with a number of black boxes at angle change points around along the border.
As you hover your mouse over one of these points they become an edit point - click and hold down to move to a place where you want to define as the picture border. You can add as many edit points as you need to by clicking at any point on the red border and then dragging the new point to the next angle change point. You can get a relatively smooth curve that is most probably as good as you will need for most publishing applications but obviously not quite to the standard of photo editing software.

I hope that this helps sort out the problem but advise back if it does not.

Regards

Makonz
