table with a rounded border
How do I make a table with a rounded border, a line to seperate the table
into two rows, and the top row be shaded? |

Not in Word. The only way to make a rounded "border" is to draw a rounded
rectangle on top of the table. While the border between rows is no problem, the shading of the top row is because it will extend to the corners of the cells, outside the rounded "border." While it would be theoretically possible to create a second rounded rectangle, filled with the shading color and place it behind the text, the bottom of it covered by a white rectangle to cut off the rounding on the bottom, trying to keep all these drawing objects aligned with a table would be a formatting nightmare. I suspect you've seen this sort of formatting created in FrontPage or another Web layout application, but it just isn't practical in Word. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Your theoretically method works reasonably well and it is not that difficult to set up. In a pinch it could work quite well. |
