Default How can I create a table with Rounded Corners on borders?

I am trying to create tables with cell borders (or at least table borders) that have rounded corners a la Win XP's look. Any ideas?

Border functions don't seem to offer corner options. One possibility is no cell borders and an autoshape within each cell, but I could not get the autoshape and cell to automatically resize according to my needs. I'm not a FrontPage wiz, but I think these sorts of things are accomplished with cascading style sheets (CSS) in FP. If Word has an equivalent, would that be a solution. Ok, enough thought stimulatulation. What are *your* thoughts?

I've spent quite a bit of time digging everywhere for this information (within the app itself, it's help and many on-line resources), and have found no indication it's possible. I'm hoping someone has already conquered this ;-)

Thanks muchly!

You'll have to come back down a level. There's no simple way (if any way)
of doing it in Word.
