  • I don't comment often here but those are some really great tips.  Hopefully Microsoft will add table rounded corner & transparency options in future release...I would go sofar to say rounded corners should probably become the default setting.

  • JohnCz, many thanks for your comments. I'll pass this along to our product team to keep in mind for future releases.
