Is it possible to create a table border with rounded corners? I have
created a rectangle using Draw, for a small table, but trying to
produce the same for a large table, the radii of the corners increase
proportionally! :-(
Martin.
PS. Perhaps I should add that the 'table' is a link to an Excel
spreadsheet (containing calculations).

1) Insert your linked spreadsheet. 2) Use the drawing tools to create a rectangle shape. 3) Right-click and select the properties sheet for the rectangle, select rounded. 4) Size it and move it to surround your spreadsheet. Brian | |||||

Brian,
Thanks for your suggestion. There is a 'problem' with it, in that as
the size of the rectangle get larger, the radii of the corners also
get larger.
What I want to do is create borders around differently sized 'objects',
all having SMALL rounded corners.
Visio has the facility to do what I want, but do I really want to place
a Visio object over an Excel object, inside a Word document?!?!

Only if you like doing things the 'ard way! (Reminds me of the old joke about making
love standing up in a hammock - its only hard at first.)
Adapting my previous suggestion: make up your own box shap from lines and curves.
Select all of the components and group them. Then they'll behave as a single object
that can be moved, resized etc. From simple experimentation it seems to retain the
radius of the curves.
Try it.
Brian
