How can I create a table with rounded corners?
Is it possible to create a table (or a shape which automatically resizes
based on the text entered, like a table) with rounded corners? I'm using Word 2003 and I need to create a document with different sections or fields. I want each section of text to be surrounded by a border with rounded corners. The document will be used by different people, completing each section with different text. The border needs to automatically resize to fit around the text entered. Any ideas would be really appreciated! |

How can I create a table with rounded corners?
The only way to get rounded corners is with an overlaid AutoShape, and it
can't be made to resize automatically. Sorry. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Corrinne" wrote in message ...

How can I create a table with rounded corners?
Thank you Suzanne,
I just worked out how to make the autoshape resize, so I'm going to try that to see if it will work for what I need. I selected the autoshape, right clicked and selected "Add text" from the drop down. Then I right clicked and selected "Format AutoShape". On the "text box" tab, there is a box for "Resize autoshape to fit text". I'm quite excited that I worked that out, even if it was simple. Thanks again for responding so quickly - I really appreciate it. "Suzanne S.

Thanks for posting back; I'd forgotten that setting, and it seems it will do
