With the rounded rectangle still selected, in the Property inspector, type 
700 in the width box (W), type 340 in the height box (H), type 0 for 
the X position, type 255 for the Y position, and then press Enter to 
apply the last value.

After resizing the rounded rectangle, you notice that the rounded edges are

The rounded rectangle is a Fireworks Auto Shape, so you can use the Auto 
Shape Properties panel to adjust the roundness of the corners.

The Y position is only an approximation. You can alternatively use the 
arrow keys to nudge the rounded rectangle up or down until it is about 6 
pixels below the slideshow placeholder image.
