1.
Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Formatting dialog.
2.
Under Property, type border-collapse.
3.
Under Value, type separate.
4. Add a padding to keep the table cells from sticking out of the rounded corners: under
Property type padding and under Value type a measure for the padding.
5. Click OK, and click OK again to close the Formatting dialog.
If the table's rounded corners are still not (fully) visible, check the styles for table cells. Table
cells can have their own background color and by that, hide the table's background color -
including the rounded corners. Table cells can have rounded corners as well, just as any other
elements; see below.
Other elements
To round the corners of elements other than boxes and images, or to have different roundings
on different corners, you have to make use of the CSS property: border-radius; see
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_borders.asp.
This is, for example, how you could round the corners of a paragraph:
1.
Select the paragraph (see "Selecting an element" on page174) and then select Format >
Paragraph on the menu, or right-click the paragraph and select Paragraph on the
shortcut menu.
2.
Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Formatting dialog.
3.
Under Property, type border-radius.
4.
Under Value, type the value of the corner radius in a measure (10mm, 5px, 0.5in) or
percentage (0 - 90%).
5. Click OK, and click OK again to close the Formatting dialog.
Using a CSSfile
Of course you could also add this rule to a CSS file; see "Styling templates with CSS files" on
page253. The following rule sets the border-radius of the corners of all paragraphs to 5 pixels:
p { border-radius: 5px; }.
To make this rule apply to one specific paragraph, first give the paragraph an ID (select the
paragraph and type the ID, for example rounded, on the Attributes pane). Then add the ID to
the selector of the CSSrule, for example p#rounded { border-radius: 5px; }.
To make the CSS rule apply to a set of paragraphs with the same class, first give the
