creating a beveled box

I usually just use the Action Button: Custom under "Autoshapes", "Action
Buttons". Even though you aren't assigning anything to the button you can
still use it. Other than that I create my rectangle, create one of the
sides using the "trapezoid" (and sizing it using the yellow triangle ), set
the fill color to a Gradient to get a raised look, duplicate it and flip it
to fit the other side, then repeat for the other two sides. Once done,
select them all and Group them.

autoshapes?
 
And if you don't want the button to act like a button during the screen show
(ie, not get all Marvin-like and depressed and a pain in all the diodes dow...
er ... sorry)
... you can choose Edit, Copy, Edit, Paste Special, As Enhanced Metafile and
get a plain old graphic of the thing.
