Unhappy Indesign CS Rounded Corners

HELP!

Create a picture box with round corners. How do you do it? It's driving me mad, I'm sure I've done it before.

TIA

In previous versions it used to be nicely contained in a contextual menu (opposite click of mouse). Hate having to run through the menus in CS to do it now.

It is really silly! Why don't they have a rounded box tool in the toolbar?!!

It's a normal box with an effect applied. You can choose rounded, bevel, fancy, etc. as well as the size of the effect. I just think it's nuts that they've buried it in the menubar instead of leaving it in the contextual menu...after all they left Feather and Drop Shadow in the contextual menu...

As far as I know no such tool exists. Unlike Illustrator and Photoshop.
