[AccessD] Need rectangle with rounded corners

[Stuart McLachlan]

Just experimented and this works:

Open a word document,  Go to "Insert - Shapes".
Draw your shape hit Ctrl+C (Copy)
Switch to your report in Design and View and hit Ctrl+P (Paste)

Voila!

Note that this actually copies as a bitmap  so make the original as large as possibe and 
shrink it to size in Access to avoid excess "jaggies".
