Objects: Rounded Corners on Rectangle

How to make just one side of the square object with rounded corners round. That is, say, the left side of the filled, rectangle IS square (top and bottom left corners) but the top and bottom right corners ARE round.

Stumped...

I just figured it out. While I couldn't find a way to shape just one side of the rectangle into square corners, I drew two objects: one a rounded square, the other just a square. I resized them so their height was the same size, and then slid them together and grouped them. The rounded square is mostly covered by the squared rectangle, only a bit of the right side is showing to reveal the roundness of the right side. Now, I have my desired result.

For future reference, you can "square up" any one corner (or more) of a rounded rectangle, as well as altering other shapes. Select the shape, then Format > Shape > Make Editable. You then should see some red dots representing the endpoints of the arc for each rounded corner (in this case). You can reposition them to your heart's content, even bulging them out beyone square for whatever effect. Incidentally, to get back to this mode later, first click to select the shape, then click again to edit it. (NOTE: Not the same as double-clicking, which puts you into text entry mode.)
